  And, for the paranoid system administrator, a way of limiting the number
! of directories supported in a globbing expression was added in <code>1.2.8rc1</code>: <code>PR_TUNABLE_GLOBBING_MAX</code>.  By default, the maximum number
! of levels supported is 8 (this is the hardcoded default in the GNU library
! implementation of globbing).  To change this to a lower number, compile
  <code>proftpd</code> using a <code>configure</code> line that looks
  something like this:
  <pre>
!   CFLAGS="-DPR_TUNABLE_GLOBBING_MAX=3" ./configure ...

  <p>
+ There is a similar limit on the maximum number of matches for a glob
+ expression.  By default, this limit is 100000 (the hardcoded default in
+ the GNU library <code>glob(3)</code> implementation).  In the
+ <code>1.3.3rc1</code> ProFTPD release, a way of altering this limit was
+ added: <code>PR_TUNABLE_GLOBBING_MAX_MATCHES</code>.  For sites which really
+ do require a higher number of matches for their glob expressions, the
+ following <code>configure</code> command can be used:
+ <pre>
+   ./configure CFLAGS="-DPR_TUNABLE_GLOBBING_MAX_MATCHES=200000UL" ...
+ </pre>
+ A globbing expression that matches more than this limit will have the
+ number of matches silently truncated to the limit (or just below).
