Bug #11609: Dir.glob brace expansion  possible edge case

----------------------------------------
I found an edge case of Dir.glob that don't work  as i was expecting, and as my shell works.

It may happens on every version.  I discovered it after spelunking through: ruby_brace_expand function on dir.c (https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/dir.c#L2030) (as you may  look: if you add lots of '}' the nest variable won't get to 0 it will be less than zero, so it would not get into the if ( lbrace && rbrace) that parses the glob, that's the clue i have.).


Below, the output of the test script and a zsh glob expansion.

output:
