The glob function from glibc makes a recursive call for every trailing

The attached patches fix it and add a test in Gnulib. It is based on my
patch in glibc, which is just waiting for a final "Reviewed-by" before
committing [1].
I'm not expecting to need a v3 patch for glibc, but I will hold off
pushing to Gnulib just in case.

So only trailing /////'s are an issue,
not a///////...b, interesting.
Patch looks good.
