Description:
------------
glob() returns false instead of an empty array.
I was using version 4.3.7 and everything was OK. Then I upgraded to 4.3.9RC1 and 4.3.9RC2 and the problem appeared.
I looked in the bug-report database and saw simillar problems, then downloaded the php4-STABLE-200409010630 version, compiled it and the results were the same.
Is this a bug or a normal behavior?


Reproduce code:
---------------
$files = glob("/some_empty_dir/*");
var_dump($files);


Expected result:
----------------
array(0) {
} 

Actual result:
--------------
bool(false)

Duplicate of bug #28649 (which was closed). I reopened that one and marking this one as bogus (as it was already reported).
