    Problem Text
    We think that these tests are expecting the wrong results.

    The actual text from the X/Open manual under 'fnmatch' is below:

    "If FNM_PERIOD is set in 'flags', then a leading period in 'string' will "
    "match a period in 'pattern'; where "leading" is indicated by the value of"
    "FNM_PATHNAME: "
    " "
    " -- If FNM_PATHNAME is set, a period is "leading" if it is the first "
    " character in 'string' or if it immediately follows a slash. "
    " "
    " -- If FNM_PATHNAME is not set, a period is "leading" only if it is the"
    " first character of 'string'. "

    Review Information

    Completed null
    Status Complete
    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    The XCU specification for the Shell states that it is unspecified whether
    a leading period in a bracket expression will match a period in a file
    name. This suggests that there is a fault in the test suite in testing
    "unspecified" behaviour.

    It is recommended that a waiver is granted on the grounds of a Test Suite
    Deficiency.

    Review Type SA Review
    Start Date null
    Completed null
    Status Complete
    Review Resolution Test Suite Deficiency (TSD)
    Review Conclusion
    This is an agreed Test Suite Deficiency.
