    Problem Text
    This was reported to vsx_support during the beta testing of VSX 4.3.3 and
    accepted as a test suite deficiency. The fix was not expected to make
    VSX 4.3.4. Below is the supportive information included with the
    original error report.


    The locales defined by VSX4 do not include all the space characters
    in the portable character set as defined by POSIX.2 and XPG4. From POSIX.2
    Shell and Utilities Specification Volume 1, page 40. These characters include
    but may not be limited to <alert>, <backspace>, <tab>, <newline>,
    <vertical-tab>, <form-feed> and <carriage-return>. The relevant
    text is "Each supported locale shall include the portable
    character set specified in Table 2-4."

    Also on page 50 of POSIX.2 under character classification the following
    characters must be classified as space characters: <tab>, <newline>,
    <vertical-tab>, <form-feed> and <carriage-return>. The relevant text
    is "The characters <space>, <form-feed>, <newline>, <carriage-return>,
    <tab>, and <vertical-tab>, as defined in Table 2-4 and any of the
    characters included in the class blank, are automatically included in
    this class."

    System Interface Definitions, Issue 4, page 45 has the following
    statement: " The character classes digit, xdigit, lower, upper and
    space have a set of automatically included characters. ... It is not
    possible to define a locale without these automatically included
    characters..."

    Our localedef automatically includes all the above space characters
    when the VSX4 locales are generated. The above testcases fail to
    recognize these as valid space characters.

    vsx_support reply

    This is accepted as an error in the psudolanguage definitions for
    VSXL1 and VSXL2. We will change SRC/INC/nlsclass.h and the installation
    guide appropriately, although this change is now likely to be postponed
    until after the next release.

    /tset/XPG4.os/wcharhandle/iswctype/T.iswctype 2 Failed

    Test Description:
    When the wide character c is defined to not have property property in
    the wide character classification table associated with the current
    locale specified in LC_CTYPE, then a call to iswctype() returns zero.

    Test Strategy:
    OBTAIN multibyte strings using wcharcfg()
    CHILD process:

    CHANGE to test locale using setlocale()
    FOR each valid property name, call wctype()
    VERIFY that return value from wctype() when used as the second
    argument to iswctype(), with character argument not with that
    property returns zero.

    Test Information:
    With locale set to VSX4L1
    iswctype(\t, wctype(space)) returned 512, expected zero
    With locale set to VSX4L1
    iswctype(\n, wctype(space)) returned 512, expected zero
