The nice and simple rule given above: `expand a wildcard pattern into the list of matching pathnames' was the original Unix definition. It allowed one to have patterns that expand into an empty list, as in xv -wait 0 *.gif *.jpg where perhaps no *.gif files are present (and this is not an error). However, POSIX requires that a wildcard pattern is left unchanged when it is syntactically incorrect, or the list of matching pathnames is empty. With bash one can force the classical behaviour by setting allow_null_glob_expansion=true.

So the setting allow_null_glob_expansion should switch of GLOB_NOCHECK
