I'm confused how this patch differs from just removing the "if (*p)"
condition before calling match_in_dir. Does match_in_dir actually work
if p points to an empty string? I thought not...

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.
