>Synopsis: fnmatch(3) does not match negated character classes such as
[![:space:]]

System : OpenBSD 5.8

>Description:
The fnmatch(3) C library function is broken on OpenBSD 5.8. Negated
character classes such as [![:space]] aren't matched.
The following test program outputs "fnmatch broken" on OpenBSD and
"fnmatch ok" on Mac OS X and Linux. (On NetBSD, it's broken too.)
>How-To-Repeat:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fnmatch.h>
int main() {
int result=fnmatch("[![:space:]]", "x", 0);
if (result==0) {
printf("fnmatch ok\n");
return(0);
} else {
printf("fnmatch broken\n");
return(1);
}
}
>Fix:
Not known to me.
