[3.0.5] pattern ^*.tif gives non-existing file

[3.0.5] pattern ^*.tif gives non-existing file

[Sven Guckes]

"Identify, user!"
$ echo $ZSH_VERSION
3.0.5

Here we go:

I wanted to quickly see all non-TIFF files in the TIFF dir.
So I thought the file pattern must be  "^*.tif".  But see:

	$ cd pics/tiff
	$ ls ^*.tif
	doku04.tif      doku04b.tif

Now, both these files certainly do end in ".tif".  Huh?
But now the scary part:  doku04.tif does not exist!

Should I upgrade the ZSH?
Or am I misreading file pattern again?

Try "echo ^*.tif".  I suspect you'll find that what gets echo'd is the
name of a directory, and that in that directory are the two files above.

BINGO!  :-) - There was a subdir "bak" with those files in it.
Sorry for the noise, folks!
