I do not remember the reason for the changes in the moment.  All I can
say in this moment is that if there is a real change (unlike the
missing optimization mentioned in the other mail) it was necessary.
The last time I changed glob it was because some tests I've run
failed.  I'll take a look at all this ASAP.  It would help a lot if
you could provide some testing dat a(a shell script creating an
appropriate file hierachy).

Thanks,
