Actually, the "unset noglob" after the tset command is NOT irrelevant,
because without it you can be left in "noglob" state if the string
generated by the tset fails to execute properly (like your shell
variable is set to /bin/sh).  The "set noglob" command cannot be issued
by tset because it will not be interpreted until the tset output has
already been "globbed".  By then it is too late, so, you need to put it in
as a separate command.
