New issue 103 by camillob...@gmail.com: Mac VM Strange Bash Argument Expansion http://code.google.com/p/cog/issues/detail?id=103

Cog handles command line arguments inconsistently under mac:

cogVM Foo.image * => OK, normal expansion happening, `Smalltalk arguments` contains the names of all the files in the directory

cogVM Foo.image "*" => FAIL! `Smalltalk arguments` contains the very same files again

cogVM Foo.image * => FAIL! `Smalltalk arguments` contains the very same files again

cogVM Foo.image "*" => `Smalltalk arguments` contains a single string '*'

I expected the same arguments as when doing an echo echo * => prints all files echo "*" => prints * echo * => prints *

so somewhere there must happen a strange additional expansion (at least in the Mac VM)
