    Problem Text
    creat 11 and open 16 fail because VSX_TERMIOS_TTY and VSX_TERMIOS_LOOP
    are set to "unsup", but the test cases do not treat this feature as UNSUPPORTED.

    In both cases, the test forks off a child that calls termios_prep().
    When it calls termios_prep(), it gets back a return value of 1. This
    causes the child to return without PATH_OK. So the path counter is not
    incremented. When it is checked at the end of the test case, it finds that
    not all the PATH_TRACE calls were made and considers it UNRESOLVED.

    Test Output
    **************************************************************************
    ************************************************************************
    /tset/POSIX.os/files/creat/T.creat 11 Unresolved

    Test Description:
    For the XNFS specification:
    Not in use.
    For the XSH specification:
    When the path argument on a call to creat(path, mode) refers to a
    FIFO special file or a terminal device file, then the result of
    the call to creat() is the same as for the equivalent call to
    open() with the O_TRUNC flag clear.
    Note: The terminal device file case is not tested in XPG3 mode.
    Posix Ref: Component CREAT Assertion 5.3.2.2-39(A)

    Test Information:
    path tracing error: path counter 2, expected 3

    in oflag and path refers to a FIFO special file or a terminal
    device file, then the result of the call to open() is the same as
    with the O_TRUNC flag clear.
