in thread bsd_glob returns non-existent files without GLOB_NOMAGIC

> The default, GLOB_CSH, includes GLOB_NOCHECK

almost, its GLOB_NOMAGIC

"GLOB_CSH"
           For convenience, "GLOB_CSH" is a synonym for "GLOB_BRACE |
           GLOB_NOMAGIC | GLOB_QUOTE | GLOB_TILDE | GLOB_ALPHASORT".
...

"GLOB_NOMAGIC"
           Same as "GLOB_NOCHECK" but it only returns the pattern if it does
           not contain any of the special characters "*", "?" or "[".
           "NOMAGIC" is provided to simplify implementing the historic csh(1)
           globbing behaviour and should probably not be used anywhere else.
