[bug-enscript] [bug #57965] the wildcard * for input files daes not work properly?

[James Youngman]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #57965 (project enscript):

I agree that it looks like this problem is not caused by the shell's wildcard
expansion.   In your newest example, it also seems to me that the file f.f is
not included at all.   IMO that's a bit worse than just duplicate output.

I wonder if this is a problem in enscript which is only happening in cases
where the locale settings have some particular property.   This might be
affected for example by your environment setting LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8 or by
which locale data files are actually built on your system. 

Are you able to reproduce the problem with your locale set up for a different
locale?  My guess is that the enscript code is most well-tested in the C
locale and some English-language US-centric locale.   Try this config for
example (it's not the same as my config though):

$ env LANG=en_US.utf8 LANGUAGE=en_US:en LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 bash

$ locale
LANG=en_US.utf8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=en_US.utf8

$ (try to reproduce the problem here)
