HP/UX 11 bug

glob(3) on HP/UX 11 always strips a trailing slash from a pathname. This
breaks the differing semantics of
rsync directory host:/foo/bar
rsync directory host:/foo/bar/
Here's a patch which, at least, doesn't seem to do any harm on Solaris
or Linux and fixes the problem on HP.
Cheers,
Mark
