Summary: nullglob does not work when failglob is enabled 
Distribution: --Distribution-Agnostic--
Originally reported in: None
Milestone: None
Status: None
Original bug number: 


Initial Comment:
The _services and _xinetd_services are a bit broken when failglob is enabled. 

1. failglob has actually a bigger priority than nullglob, so failglob prevents nullglob to happen. We should disable and restore failglob when enabling/restoring nullglob.
and 
2. the "printf" statements in the array assignements create another step of glob + word splitting to happen, they should be removed.

See attached patches. They should prevent chkconfig completion from failing under some circumstances, like when no xinetd services are installed.
