Bash Version: 4.1
Patch Level: 2
Release Status: release

Description:
        I deleted the file .DS_Store fom a fat32 partition as root.  bash 
properly warned me and I answered y which deleted that file.
        A second different file, named ._.DS_Store was also erased - but 
without warning, and I did not ask for this.  
        Therein lies the bug.
        I recreated two text files with different contents having those same 
names, and repeated the steps - same problem - both files got erased with the 
one rm command for just one of them.

Repeat-By:
        Create those 2 files. Delete just one.

Fix:
        probably some shell filename matching code has an error?
