    This waiver request was granted with TSD4.087 under VSX4.2.4, but
    the failures still occurs under VSX4.3.2. A new TSD is been
    requested.

    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    These tests assume that the transformed strings can be stored
    in 25 bytes or constant number of bytes. However, the standard says:
    "The fact that when n is zero, s1 is permitted to be a null pointer,
    is useful to determine the size of the s1 array prior to making the
    transformation"

    So, the right way before applying the function is to call it with
    n=0 to determine the bytes needed for the transformation and then
    applying the transformation.

    For example, the following code sequence is in error:

    (void) strcpy(buf2, "bern");
    (void) asc_to_psl(buf2, VALINFO1LANG);
    (void) strxfrm(buf1, buf2, (size_t)25);
    expect = strlen(buf1);
    retval = (int) strxfrm(buf3, buf2, (size_t)(expect-1));


    The correct way to write this test is:

    (void) strcpy(buf2, "bern");
    (void) asc_to_psl(buf2, VALINFO1LANG);
    expect = strxfrm(NULL, buf2, 0);
    retval = (int) strxfrm(buf3, buf2, (size_t)(expect-1));


    Same problem exists in test 1 and 3 of strxfrm().

    Test Output

    /tset/ANSI.os/string/strxfrm_X/T.strxfrm_X 4 Failed

    Test Description:
    The return value gives the length of string that is required to hold
    the transformation of the string s2 (This value may exceed the value
    of n).

    Test Strategy:
    CREATE child process
    VERIFY that the maximum size of the string is returned when size
    argument < required size.

    Test Information:
    If the returned string exceeds the length set in the 3rd argument, the
    required length is returned
    Current language setting is VSX4L1
    strxfrm did not return expected value
    value of string to be transformed (4245534e)
    expected return value : 20
    actual return value : 40
