Hi all!

I have the following directory structure:
  /usr/home/home/'users'/'users files'

When in /usr/home/home, as root, doing 'cat *'
I get very strange output. It's a lot of not
viewable characters, but also file names of
existing files in /usr/home/home/'users' and
in /usr/home/home/'users'/'users files'. The
strangest of all is that even files that has
been removed shows up.

Is this reproduceable on other computers run-
ning 4.5-RELEASE as well? Is it a bug in cat,
or is this a normal behaveiour?

Best regards,
Paul
