>Environment:

	FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE

>Description:

	Expand(1) often assumes file name as a tab spec because it overlook
	first character of the arguments.
	For example, 'i10' is assumed as '-10'. As the result that
	it cannot treat such file name.
	
>How-To-Repeat:

	% expand i10
	(doesn't return)

	or

	% echo > i386
	% expand i386
	Bad tab stop spec

>Fix:
