Any chance of reconsidering this?

If you believe a bug was inappropriately closed, you need to reopen it, or 
open a new bug for the same issue, preferably with detailed references to 
the appropriate standards or other reasons you think the closure was 
inappropriate.  Comments on closed bugs don't make the bugs appear to 
anyone subsequently doing bug triage.

This seems like yet another unexplained/unreasonable bug closure by Drepper.
Can we please get a serious review of it. I think the fact that glob() is
behaving differently from bash, and the fact that one expects "rm *" to remove
everything including dangling symlinks, speaks for itself; POSIX does not have
any special language about symlinks in the specification for glob, so by
default I think it requires them to be included in the results.

866-v2: updated patch that applies cleanly against master

Here's an updated version of Steven's patch that applies cleanly against the
current master branch in case anybody wants to play with it.

Seems to work well, but I'm new here -- not sure what the policy is wrt tests?

This behavior is correct.  There won't be any change.

fix globbing of dangling symlinks in sysdeps/generic/glob.c

Adding another argument to glob_in_dir() was the easiest route, but perhaps one
of its existing arguments could be (ab)used instead.
