I also mentioned before, the pattern matching for hosts: in readers.conf
is also case-sensitive (*.BOFH.Halifax.NS.Ca != *.bofh.halifax.ns.ca).
wildmat() appears to rely on the caller to match-case the provided arguments
in order to do a case-insensitive comparison (probably for speed). In perm.c
the case-matching isn't done. This might be the same case.
