Hm... I don't believe that the windows command interpreter expands 
wildcards. To my knowledge, neither command.com nor CMD.exe have ever 
done anything like that.

On the other hand, it's obvious that the P4V log is not a direct 
reflection of what's happening under the hood, since it includes the 
"p4" command (which wouldn't be part of API calls), and doesn't show 
quotes in filenames that contain spaces.

Ah well it was a nice try. These periodic slowdowns are starting to 
annoy many people, and they turn to me in anger. ;)
