> I'm writing to you to inform you of a possible bug in the linux "rm" command.
> I've experienced that when using by error the said command as following :
> "rm - rf#*"
> if there is no file named #*# (* being the same as in the console, anything) in 
> the current directory, rm quits as expected because of the incorrect syntax.
> But if there is a file named #*#, rm deletes all the current file's content 
> except the said file.
