This is wrong.  As you were told on that mailing list, [:alpha:] is too
wide.  Group names must not contain characters, which fit in this class.
It is designed to be locale-dependent, while the constraint on how
should a valid group name look like is not.

In my opinion, [a-z] should always mean 26 characters, regardless of any
locale settings; if it doesn't, it's a bug.  So, you're fixing the issue
in the wrong place.
