Bah, stupid gmail (or stupid user of gmail). Anyway, if you type

fossil setting crnl-glob *

at a command prompt in an empty directory (no expansion opportunity
for *) you get a different result than if you type that command in a
non-empty directory (where * is expanded into the list of entries in
the current directory). The mingw startup code is emulating the
behavior one expects from a posix environment.
