In the JFileChooser, if you enter a wildcard (*.txt) and then either
hit enter or click on the open button it exits and from the JFileChooser
and returns the APPROVE_OPTION value. This is not the proper behavior.
The JFileChooser should use the wildcard as filter for the current
directory the user is in and when open is clicked or enter is typed
it should then display only the files that match the wildcard criteria.
Returning the APPROVE_OPTION value tells an app that it is OK to try
and open a file with a wildcard in it. There is no specific code
that causes this problem. This occurs on Windows NT v4.0 service pack 4.
