    Problem Text
    Here are my reasons for asking for an interpretation for the wchar-43
    failure:

    <wchar.h> is supposed to include <stdlib.h>, this is required
    because of MB_CUR_MAX and other multibyte routines declared in <stdlib.h>.
    <stdlib.h> is supposed to contain the <sys/wait.h> macros to decipher
    the return from the system() routine. This is stated in the XPG4 XSH
    spec on the manual page for system(), furthermore in the description
    of <stdlib.h>, it says that the inclusion of <stdlib.h> may make visible
    symbols found in <sys/wait.h>. I therefore feel that wchar test 43
    contradicts the XPG4 standard, because it does not permit <sys/wait.h>
    symbols to be visible when <wchar.h> is included.
    Test Output
    /tset/XPG4.hdr/misc/wchar/T.wchar 43 Failed

    Test Description:
    When _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined and no other feature test macros except
    _POSIX_SOURCE, _POSIX_C_SOURCE=1 or _POSIX_C_SOURCE=2 are defined, no
    other symbols than those defined or reserved by the XPG are made
    visible.

    Test Strategy:
    FOR each unreserved struct/union member made visible by the header
    DEFINE a macro which will cause an error if not protected from
    expansion
    UNDEFINE those macros which correspond to allowed member names
    INCLUDE a copy of the header file modified to identify #defines
    FOR each unreserved symbol made visible by the header
    VERIFY that the symbol name is in a list of allowed names
