You're probably using [:alpha:] instead of [[:alpha:]] and when
you tried [:alnum:] you tested against a letter in :alnum.  [[:alpha:]]
works fine (in 2.0.3).

I don't know. In the Applet, I tried

[[:alnum:]]

With "J" in the entry box and it returns 1 match. If I do the same with
[[:alpha:]] it doesn't work (0 matches). How do locales affect this (if at
all)?
