Doesn't ring a bell, no. glob.py is also pretty straightforward, so I'm not
sure what could be going wrong. Can you check that 'os.listdir()' and
'os.isdir()' function properly ? How about the 're' module ? If all those
work, how about testing the 'fnmatch' module ?

The 're' module should have been covered by 'make test', or if you didn't
run it, you can run it now by running
$prefix/lib/python2.0/test/regrtest.py, optionally with just 'test_re' as
argument. fmatch doesn't have a test module, but it's easy enough to test
(see the docstring.) If all those work, well, shucks, something is wrong in
glob.py itself, I guess. You can add some debugging statements to glob.py to
see where it goes wrong. Like I said, it's pretty straightforward, if a bit
recursive.
