Does match_in_dir actually work if p points to an empty string? I thought not... > Also, any feedback concerning > http://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2017/01/12/5 ? I'll have to actually trace through what it does to figure out why that's happening; the intent was that it work for all components, I think.. Really the whole glob() implementation could use a complete rewrite. Rich
