Hi Workers!

If I try this:

struct glob_t pglob;
glob ("noNeSuch.xx*",0,0,&pglob);
globfree (&pglob);

I will get a SIGSEGV. This is because pglob is not touched in glob() as
the docs says. However I looked at another glob() implementation, and it
cleared the struct like in the patch. I think we should use this too.
