Bug in tidy: wildcard not working as expected

[Alexander Mattausch]

Hello!

I found a small bug in in the tidy section. I wanted to delete all 
inetd.conf files includung backup files (inetd.conf~, inetd.conf.bak 
etc) with this command:

tidy:
   /etc
   pattern=inetd.conf*
   age=0

This, however, does not delete the inetd.conf file itself. 
"pattern=inetd.conf" matches only inetd.conf, to include all backup 
copies "pattern=inetd.con*" is needed. The "*" glob thus matches 1 or 
more characters instead of 0 or more.

This applies to cfengine 2.1.11.

Regards,
Alex Mattausch
