Subject: 29.0.50; Eshell globbing expression produces infinite recursion.
Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2022 03:55:24 -0500

Running the following recipe in a non-empty directory produces an
infinite recursion for me.
#+begin_recipe
emacs -Q RET
M-x eshell RET
echo *(^/) RET
#+end_recipe
It seems like this happens generally when I use '^' in globbing.

I think this is the same as bug#54369[1], which is now fixed. (Sorry, I 
didn't notice this bug when filing that one.)
