Yet another bug forwarded from the debian BTS (please don't hate me :)

It seems that numbers in shell like patterns confuses vim, example:

$ ls
1  1a  2  2a  a  aa  b  ba

executing ":arga 1*" and then ":ls" will add all the above files as
buffers, while only "1" and "1a" should.

Complete bug report from Markus Jarvinen (Cc-ed) follows:

Cheers.
