copy files dosn't work as expected, when copying to a directory with the special symbol in its name

Description

When copying to directory with a name containing special symbol "*" the copy command didn't do it in a right way.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. cd to some directory;
  2. create directory named *TEST*;
  3. create directory named TMP and add some files to it and create file named COPY near TMP directory;

example of testing file tree:

/tmp/new44/*TEST* (dir)
/tmp/new44/TMP (dir)
/tmp/new44/TMP/test.log (file)
/tmp/new44/COPY (file)

  1. cd in one panel to *TEST* directory and try to copy TMP directory _and_ COPY file together to it;
  2. look at copied files in *TEST* directory

Actual result:

  • during copy operation you will get denied for COPY file;
  • after copying you will see that *TEST* contains only content of TMP, but not TMP or COPY file itself

Expected result:

  • midnight commander needs to handle this situation in right way, so you can copy any files and dirs to directories with "*" in it's names without issues (expected *TEST*/TMP and *TEST*/TMP/*, and *TEST*/COPY)
