PHP Bug Type:     Performance problem
Bug description:  file_exists() always returns TRUE with the filename as wild-card char(*) on Win

Description:
------------
file_exists() function behavior on PHP6 differs with PHP5 for the
filenames containing wild-card char(*). 
PHP6 always returns TRUE for the file name with "*", and matches any file
with the filename containing wild-card char(*). This is happening only for
Windows.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
var_dump( file_exists("*") );
?>

Expected result:
----------------
bool(false)

Actual result:
--------------
bool(true)
