Yep, it's a bug in `glob' (has been there since v2.0, as far as I could 
see).  It assumed that any filename which begins with a dot is either "." 
or ".." and ignored them, but this isn't true anymore on LFN platforms.
With the patch below, "ls .gdb*" now finds `.gdbinit'.

DJ, I have uploaded file- text- and sh-utils linked against the library
with all the latest patches to your /incoming.  Sh-utils got a minor
improvement ("test -x prog" will now also find prog.exe, prog.com etc.),
so I've uploaded the source distribution also.
