I think the problem is that it is 'too lazy' on OS X.

Here is the same rake file, two different OS's.

   cat Rakefile
   F = FileList["*"]
   p F
   task :default

Linux:
   ruby -v; rake -V; rake
   rake, version 0.4.4
   ruby 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) [i386-linux-gnu]
   (in /home/jfn/tmp)
   ["Rakefile"]
   
OS X:
   ruby -v; rake -V; rake
   rake, version 0.4.4
   ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25) [powerpc-darwin]
   (in /home/jfn/tmp)
   []
   
BTW, F.resolve and F.to_s works on OS X, but I don't understand why the
two different behaviours
Any ideas?
