The glob error may well be coming from a perl script.  Perl uses
/bin/tcsh (or possibly another installed csh variant) to do its
glob'ing so a more broken than usual csh may be the underlying
cause of the problem (the first two programs I compiled for OSX
were pdksh and bash since I have forgotten most of my csh since I
stopped using it as my interactive shell in 1988 or so).
