I first said I could reproduce it, but that was because I didn't have
any ksh installed. I now installed one, and it appears to work just
fine for me.
There is more than one version of ksh. I'm using this version:
KSH_VERSION='@(#)PD KSH v5.2.14.2 99/07/13.2'
What I did is:
:set shell=ksh
:echo glob("/tmp/a's & b's/*")
/tmp/a's & b's/c + d
/tmp/a's & b's/four
If it still doesn't work for you, please give the glob() that you
actually used.
