[ROOT] Bug in TChain ?

    Hi,
 If I do the following :

TChain *tc = new TChain( "T" );
tc->Add( "file.root", -1 );
tc->Add( "file_1.root", -1 );
(Int_t)tc->GetEntries()

I get the total number of events in the two files as expected.

 However, if I do :

TChain *tc = new TChain( "T" );
tc->Add( "file_*.root", -1 );
(Int_t)tc->GetEntries()

which according to the documentation should do the same I get 
the number of events in file_1.root only.

  Is this a bug or a feature ?

 I'd like to be able to use the 2.nd construct since it I do not
have to know the number of files apriori.

                                         peter
