Works correctly and consistently on go 1.4, 1.5.
Works inconsistently in go 1.6. It behaves differently based on the current directory where the program is executed. If run from the C: drive, fails by not matching and returns an empty list. If run from the E: drive, the exact same binary works and returns 2 matches.

Tested on Windows 2008 R2

Problem description: Using the following glob logic to detect the installation of Git on 32 or 64 bit windows machines. Expect back a list paths of potential 'git.exe' that someone might be using. However, when compiled with 1.6, does not work.

package main

import (
"fmt"
"path/filepath"
)

func main() {
matches, err := filepath.Glob(C:\Program Files*\*\bin\git.exe)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("err=", err)
}
fmt.Println(matches)
}
