Summary: [glob] adds stray NUL to end of mounted VFS directory names

Initial Comment:
% binary scan [glob -type d tclkit] c* out; set out
116 99 108 107 105 116
% binary scan [glob -type d *] c* out; set out
116 99 108 107 105 116 0

On Windows this has the effect of truncating the string if passed to puts.  I haven't seen this in Linux.

% puts <[glob -type d *]>
<tclkit.exe%

(the % is the next prompt; the newline never printed)

I tried to duplicate this
with trofs to gather more
data, and [glob -type d $pattern]
doesn't work at all with it.

Don't know yet where that
places the flaw(s).
