    Problem Text
    There are some known problem with the iconv() tests in VSX4.2.3 that have
    been fixed in the upcoming VSX4.2.4beta. Our implementation passes
    the fixed version of the tests which now expect -1 to be
    returned in this case.

    The fix is as noted in the following comment from the VSX4.2.4 code.

    Test Output
    ************************************************************************
    /tset/XPG4.os/wgenuts/iconv/T.iconv 6 Failed

    Test Description:
    When the size of the output buffer referenced by outbuf is
    insufficient to hold the converted value, then conversion stops after
    the last character converted and iconv() returns the number of bytes
    in the input buffer that still remain to be converted and sets errno
    to E2BIG.

    Test Strategy:
    VERIFY that codeset VSX_CODESET1 and VSX_CODESET2 are supported
    OBTAIN test multibyte string using mbytestr()
    CHANGE to correct locale using setlocale()
    OBTAIN conversion descriptor using iconv_open()
    PERFORM conversion from VSX_CODESET1 to VSX_CODESET2 using iconv()
    with an outbuffer too small for the string to be completely converted.
    VERIFY that the correct number of unconverted bytes is returned by
    iconv.
    VERIFY that errno is set to E2BIG.

    Test Information:
    iconv() failed to return correct value
    Expected number of bytes >69<
    Actual number of bytes >-1<
