Well, I didn't test it enough.  Thanks to David Polansky <dp at meson.cray.com>
for showing that "*test* fails to match "atest"

Use the old version instead:
#! /bin/sh
# This is a shell archive.  Remove anything before this line, then feed it
# into a shell via "sh file" or similar.  To overwrite existing files,
# type "sh file -c".
# The tool that generated this appeared in the comp.sources.unix newsgroup;
# send mail to comp-sources-unix at uunet.uu.net if you want that tool.

X**  Do shell-style pattern matching for ?, \, [], and * characters.
X**  Might not be robust in face of malformed patterns; e.g., "foo[a-"
X**  could cause a segmentation violation.  I think it's 8bit clean.
