As of mksh-R59 there is a regression in glob pattern matching with '[['.
Backslash-escaping of a * passed from a variable appears to be ignored.
$ mksh-R58 -c 'v=a\\*e; [[ abcde == $v ]]';echo $?
1
$ mksh-R59 -c 'v=a\\*e; [[ abcde == $v ]]';echo $?
0 <== bug
ksh93, bash, yash and zsh all behave like mksh R58 and earlier.
Testing the git repo revealed the regression was introduced by this commit:
