Argument list too long *is* expect with `rm -rf *` if you are using a glob = in a very large directory. The glob gets expanded to all files within the current directory and sure enough, exceeds the number of arguments available to pas= s to the utility. As a side note; an alternative to find that I myself would have probably us= ed: ls /foo/bar/ | xargs rm -rf --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
