Subject: bug#10458: 24.0.92; ! in dired on a file starting with a hyphen
Date: Sun, 08 Jan 2012 21:05:37 +0100

Hello,

Please see #2536 for a similar issue.

I'm working with Gnu/Linux.  If I hit ! in dired on a file starting with
"-", the hyphen is not quoted so that the specified program will
interpret the file name as an option.  I guess this is nearly never
what the user wants.
