	If the problem is the command line to rm being too long, this
will work.
	Yes, the '*" will get expanded to the list of files ... but
that will happen _within_ the running shell.  (Using the services of
glob(3) or something similar.)
	The command line to "rm" will have a single file-name, and
should not be a problem.
