Playing around in IRC with the command:
setopt extendedglob; print (/)# # or /usr/(/)#, etc.

zsh starts to recurse / repeatedly and eventually(errors and) prints /
// ///...

Mikachu | % pl (/)#|wc -l
Mikachu |  glob.c:276: BUG: statfullpath(): pathname too long

What should the 'proper' behavior be? Recursing into directories below /
or just printing `/'
I am in favor of the latter personally.
