Description:
------------
glob() with the GLOB_BRACE flag seems to have a bug. I believe that the
colon (:) in a pattern in braces, is causing the problem.

I tried escaping the colon, but that did not seem to work.



Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$paths = '{c:/globtest/firstfolder,c:/globtest/secondfolder}';
$ext = '*.png';
print_r(get_files($paths,$ext));

$paths = 'c:/globtest/';
$ext = '{firstfolder/*.png,secondfolder/*.png}';
print_r(get_files($paths,$ext));

function get_files($paths, $ext) {
    return glob($paths.$ext,GLOB_BRACE);
}

?>

Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
    [0] => c:/globtest/firstfolder/arrow_down.png
    [1] => c:/globtest/firstfolder/arrow_off.png
    [2] => c:/globtest/firstfolder/arrow_up.png
    [3] => c:/globtest/secondfolder/arrow_down.png
    [4] => c:/globtest/secondfolder/arrow_off.png
    [5] => c:/globtest/secondfolder/arrow_up.png
)
Array
(
    [0] => c:/globtest/firstfolder/arrow_down.png
    [1] => c:/globtest/firstfolder/arrow_off.png
    [2] => c:/globtest/firstfolder/arrow_up.png
    [3] => c:/globtest/secondfolder/arrow_down.png
    [4] => c:/globtest/secondfolder/arrow_off.png
    [5] => c:/globtest/secondfolder/arrow_up.png
)

Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
)
Array
(
    [0] => c:/globtest/firstfolder/arrow_down.png
    [1] => c:/globtest/firstfolder/arrow_off.png
    [2] => c:/globtest/firstfolder/arrow_up.png
    [3] => c:/globtest/secondfolder/arrow_down.png
    [4] => c:/globtest/secondfolder/arrow_off.png
    [5] => c:/globtest/secondfolder/arrow_up.png
)
