Hello while trying to build a package of mine on F15 I ran into 
configure issues. They stem from a change in how bash evaluates case 
statements. My test script: http://fpaste.org/6zuv/

F14:

-Z!!!
= x
X1
X1.1         <--- evaluates to No Match for F15
xyes2
xyes3


F15:

-Z!!!
= x
X1
No match1.1   <--- evaluates to X1.1 on F14
xyes2
xyes3

Is this a regression that should be reported to bash? Or is this 
expected and should be fixed in my package? You'll notice that the if 
test methods continue to function in the same manner.

Thoughts?
