[Bug manual/14029] glibc manual wrongly claims fnmatch cannot fail

--- Comment #2 from Rich Felker <bugdal at aerifal dot cx> ---
I don't think this bug report is the right place to discuss whether that's the
"sanest thing to do" (the alternative of returning no match seems equally valid
and it's a matter of opinion which is better). To resolve this bug, the manual
should just document what glibc is actually doing and the conditions under
which failure may happen, and perhaps whether this behavior is intended to
continue unchanged or improve in some way in the future.
