Hello,

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.

Regards,
