wildcard expansion once more


While processing large amounts of data, cygwin runs into trouble with
wildcard expansion (it happens only while processing thousands of files). For
example:

ls */*.txt

comes up with

bash: //c/cygtools/....bin/ls: Invalid argument

It seems there is a memory limitation (for ls). Do you know any
work-around?
(I'm using the latest binary release of cygwin and haven't found 
an appropriate answer to my question in the archive.)

Cheers,
Andre
