Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.2.ds1-13 Tags: patch When the GLOB_APPEND flag is passed to glob(), the call is supposed to tack new results on to the ones already represented in the glob_t passed in. If there is an error, partial results may be added, but the original glob_t should definitely be left alone. This is not respected in at least one part of glibc's glob implementation. In this particular place, globfree() is called on the glob_t regardless of the flags passed. Since glob() is implemented recursively with GLOB_APPEND added to the flags, this can affect the results returned even from a call where GLOB_APPEND is not set. The following patch fixes the one instance of this behavior I found.Attachment: glob-respect-append.dpatch
Description: application/shellscript
