Patch Level: 46
Release Status: release

Description:
A A A An extglob pattern such as `*?(anything)something_else` will
match any string, even though it should only match strings that end
with something_else. I suspect there are a number of other extglob
patterns involving ?() that are buggy but have not tested extensively.
This *only* happens on 4.3. I have also tested 4.0, 4.2, and 4.4, all
of which parse the glob correctly.

Repeat-By:
A A A Run `shopt -s extglob`, followed by `[[ 'hello' == *?(l)x ]] &&
echo 'yes'`. This should not echo anything, but in fact does echo
"yes". The bug is reproducible anywhere extglobs are used, for example:
echo *?(foo)bar echoes everything in PWD
meow=hello; echo ${meow##*?(bloop)blap} will echo an empty string
because the pattern erroneously matches the whole string, removing it
in its entirety.
