Since d8aaef00a7 (Update., 1999-04-26), there is code to consider
character class names that include that character as invalid

* posix/fnmatch_loop.c: correct inequality

Thanks for patch.  There is no need for Copyright entry anymore, so you
can skip it on commit message.  Also, current practice is to both add
a bug report if this is a user-visible issue (which seems so) along with
a testcase to avoid any potential regression.  Cold you provide both?

Sure; but I would like to clarify that the bug I was really targeting
has a bugzilla[1] entry already and the fix[2] for it includes "part
2" of a fix for this.

My assumption was that this bug is too old and has no user effect
(unless someone adds a custom class name with 'z' in their name), and
in the 20 years that had gone by, there are only a handful of those.

Either way, I will be adding tests for both bugs in a v2, but wanted
to be sure you would have them split (which I would normally agree
with), or maybe I should have squashed both commits instead.

Thanks, we are now enforcing regression tests on every bug report.  Since
it already have a reproducer, just follow other fnmatch tests (for instance
posix/tst-fnmatch7.c).

I would say to just squash them on same patch.
