Bug#481862: libc6: glob(3) broken again

[<herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.7-11
Severity: normal

#include <glob.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
	glob_t pglob;
	printf("%d\n", glob("/de*", 0, 0, &pglob));
	printf("%d\n", pglob.gl_flags & GLOB_MAGCHAR);
	printf("%d\n", glob("/*/null", 0, 0, &pglob));
	printf("%d\n", pglob.gl_flags & GLOB_MAGCHAR);
	return 0;
}

This program prints:

$ ./a
0
256
0
0
$

The last 0 should be 256 since /dev/null exists.  Please refer to
bug 67921 for the full history of this bug.
