Not sure about this. See http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap09.html#tag_09_03_05 "The special characters '.', '*', '[', and '\' (period, asterisk, left-bracket, and backslash, respectively) shall lose their special meaning within a bracket expression." So I think the original version of the test is in fact correct with a single \ in the actual string within the bracket expression. This test passes in a very few implementations. I might be wrong though... Justin
