BUG DESCRIPTION:
----------------
mdelete("test") works like mdelete("test.*")!
So, it can unexpectedly delete MANY files (with no trash bin) without using any wildcard.

--> mputl("", TMPDIR+"/test");
--> mputl("", TMPDIR+"/test2");
--> mputl("", TMPDIR+"/test.sci");
--> isfile(TMPDIR+"/"+["test" "test2" "test.sci"])
 ans  =
  T T T

--> mdelete(TMPDIR+"/test")
--> isfile(TMPDIR+"/"+["test" "test2" "test.sci"])
 ans  =
  F T F    // test.sci is missing!


ERROR LOG:
----------
none. Wrong behavior


HOW TO REPRODUCE THE BUG:
-------------------------
mputl("", TMPDIR+"/test")
mputl("", TMPDIR+"/test2")
mputl("", TMPDIR+"/test.sci")
isfile(TMPDIR+"/"+["test" "test2" "test.sci"])
mdelete(TMPDIR+"/test")
isfile(TMPDIR+"/"+["test" "test2" "test.sci"])


OTHER INFORMATION:
------------------
This bug appeared in Scilab 5.2
It was likely introduced when fixing the bug 4295.
I have suffered from it in Scilab 6.0.1
