This is quite weird. I've been using FreeBSD for quite a while. The
section of the man page I sent is in fact from FreeBSD 4.7. Anyways,
that's beside the point. Please look in the mac0SX and see what the glob
C function (not the glob program from xfce3) returns whens no match is
found. One I know that, the fix will take about 3 seconds.
