When a unix system call is given the file sh it does not exist, but
sh.exe does, then it uses sh.exe. However, in the case above,
it is using readdir() to get the file names to match and therefore
doesn't work as expected.
On the other hand, if readir() were to string off the .exe, then
find /bin -name "*sh.exe" -print
would not work.
