    Problem Text
    This test fails due to a problem with the test code.

    The problem relates to the whitespace characters defined in the buf
    argument passed to strptime. In each case the source code
    has the whitespace character as 0x20 (ASCII Space), whereas the
    whitespace character should be the same value as that defined
    for the vsx pseudolanguage.

    Test 5 also has this problem.

    /tset/XPG4.os/time/strptime/T.strptime 3 Failed

    Test Description:
    If strptime() is supported:
    When format is a string made up of a series of the following field
    descriptors :
    a. d day of month - 01 to 31 (with or without leading zeros)
    b. D date in %m/%d/%y format
    c. H hour - 00 to 23 (with or without leading zeros)
    d. I hour - 00 to 12 (with or without leading zeros)
    e. j day of year - 001 to 366
    f. M minute - 00 to 59 (with or without leading zeros)
    g. m month of year - 01 to 12 (with or without leading zeros)
    h. n any whitespace character sequence
    i. r time in %I:%M:%S %p format
    j. S second - 00 to 61 (with or without leading zeros)
    k. t any whitespace character sequence
    l. T time in %H:%M:%S notation
    m. U week number of year - 00 to 53 (Sunday as first day of week)
    (with or without leading zeros)
    n. w day of week - 0 to 6 (Sunday = 0) (with or without leading
    zeros)
    o. W week number of year - 00 to 53 (Monday as first day of week)
    (with or without leading zeros)
    p. y last two digits of year - 00 to 99 (with or without leading
    zeros)
    q. Y four digit year including century
    then a call to strptime() reads characters from string and, in the
    case that these characters match the format of the directive,
    translates these characters into the appropriate member of the tm
    structure. Occurrences of "%%" in the format string are matched
    against a single "%" and do not affect the tm structure.
    Otherwise:
    A call to strptime() returns NULL and sets errno to ENOSYS.

    Test Strategy:
    PARENT process will
    CREATE child process using cppair()
    CHILD process will
    FOR each item in the assertion, and for fields with and without
    leading zeroes where allowed, and for locales VSX4L1 and VSX4L2
    where indicated:
    INITIALISE the tm structure to be set by strptime()
    INITIALISE the tm structure that strptime() will be checked
    against.
    IF testing the %p format:
    SET the locale for LC_TIME to VSX4L1 or VSX4L2
    OBTAIN the relevant pseudo-language data using pslanginfo()
    CONVERT the date and time string to a tm structure using
    strptime()
    VERIFY strptime() returns the expected tm structure.

    Test Information:
    time in %I:%M:%S %p format
    strptime("11'40'15\040NM", "%r", &testbuf) failed.
    Current language is VSX4L1
    return value was NULL
    time in %I:%M:%S %p format
    strptime("11'49'45\040am", "%r", &testbuf) failed.
    Current language is VSX4L2
    return value was NULL
    weekday , two digit year, and week number of the year, with leading
    zeroes
    strptime("0091 00 01", "%y %w %U", &testbuf) failed.
    return value was NULL
    weekday , two digit year, and week number of the year, without leading
    zeroes
    strptime("92 4 52", "%y %w %U", &testbuf) failed.
    return value was NULL
    weekday , two digit year, and week number of the year, with leading
    zeroes
    strptime("0091 00 01", "%y %w %W", &testbuf) failed.
    return value was NULL
    weekday , two digit year, and week number of the year, without leading
    zeroes
    strptime("92 4 52", "%y %w %W", &testbuf) failed.
    return value was NULL
    %% in format string is mapped to % in test string
    strptime("% 1991 %", "%% %Y %%", &testbuf) failed.
    return value was NULL
