According to the Single Unix Specification (which is the space the z/OS
UNIX guys play in, since "UNIX" branding is so important to them), the
z/OS return is not "wrong". Support for what GNU implements as GLOB_PERIOD
is not required, but _optional_.
It's "wrong" in the sense that everyone else supports it and z/OS UNIX
doesn't; but this kind of omission is very common.

Re: What should glob() return for ".*/.."
I think z/OS is wrong. The only difference in the Linux and AIX case is
the order, which probably depends on the filesystem used.

Given a directory with these contents:
.
..
.testdir
.testfile
What is the "correct" and expected results?
On Linux, I get:
0: '../..'
1: './..'
2: '.testdir/..'
On AIX, I get:
0: './..'
1: '../..'
2: '.testdir/..'
On z/OS USS, I get:
<nothing it returned>
Thanks much,
Leland
