fnmatch ("[[:alpha:]]","x", FNM_PATHNAME) returns FNM_NOMATCH

For some reason send-pr isn't working correctly, so I am emailing it.

 >Description:
The fnmatch function doesn't seem to like any of the character classes 
that are listed in the re_format man page. I ssh'ed to a linux box to 
check this and the character classes behaved the way I expected them to.

 >How-To-Repeat:
#include <iostream>
#include <fnmatch.h>
void main () {
   int result = fnmatch ("[[:alpha:]]","x", FNM_PATHNAME);
   if (result == FNM_NOMATCH)
     cout << "failed" << endl;
   else
     cout << "passed" << endl;
}

 >Fix:
   fnmatch seems to like the expression "[A-Za-z]" which is equivelent 
to "[[:alpha:]]".
