>Description:
With last commit to lib/libc/gen/glob.c the matching algorithm was broken.
Because the magic characters (*, ?, ...) are not expanded if preceeding segment 
of path is ./ or ../

This has serious consequences when installing a binary package, because
 glob function is used there to copy meta-information files beginning 
with + from current directory to package database. The following pattern
 is used './+*'. No match is found and therefore the package database
 ends up in inconsistent state.
>How-To-Repeat:
compile a simple program, where is used './*' as a pattern to glob().
>Fix:
Revert the last commit to glob.c?
