Description:
------------
file_exists() function behavior on PHP6 differs with PHP5 for the filenames containing wild-card char(*). 
PHP6 always returns TRUE for the file name with "*", and matches any file with the filename containing wild-card char(*). This is happening only for Windows.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
var_dump( file_exists("*") );
?>

Expected result:
----------------
bool(false)

Actual result:
--------------
bool(true)
