the pathname matching tests ... this is not used in any way in a normal
test run, but if there are problems, one needs a mechanism to discover
whether the issue is with the code that creates the directory tree in the
test, or with the matching (either what the test expects to happen, or
what the shell actually does). The couple of lines being fixed here make
that mechanism work --- I have had this in my private sources for years
now, but never got around to committing it. It is time. NFC for any
normal test run.
