    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 3 also has this problem.
    Test Output
    ************************************************************************
    /tset/XPG4.os/time/strptime/T.strptime 5 Failed

    Test Description:
    If strptime() is supported:
    When format is a string containing the following field descriptors
    :
    a. a or A abbreviated or full weekday name - eg. Sun to Sat or
    Sunday to Saturday
    b. b, B or h abbreviated or full month name - eg. Jan to Dec or
    January to December
    c. c appropriate date and time as specified in the D_T_FMT string
    d. p AM/PM string as specified in the AM_STR/PM_STR
    e. x appropriate date as specified in the D_FMT string
    f. X appropriate time as specified in the T_FMT string
    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.
    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
    SET the locale for LC_TIME to VSX4L1
    FOR each day format
    FOR each full weekday name
    GET the relevant string using pslanginfo()
    INITIALISE the tm structures
    VERIFY that strptime() performs as expected
    FOR each abbreviated weekday name
    GET the relevant string using pslanginfo()
    INITIALISE the tm structures
    VERIFY that strptime() performs as expected
    FOR each month format
    FOR each full month name
    GET the relevant string using pslanginfo()
    INITIALISE the tm structures
    VERIFY that strptime() performs as expected
    FOR each abbreviated month name
    GET the relevant string using pslanginfo()
    INITIALISE the tm structures
    VERIFY that strptime() performs as expected
    FOR format strings D_T_FMT, AM_STR, D_FMT, and T_FMT:
    INITIALISE the tm structures
    VERIFY that strptime() performs as expected
    REPEAT everything contained above in this test for the locale
    VSX4L2
