    Problem Text
    In the above test cases, a fix was made in VSX 4.3.4 which changed the ASCII
    spaces to VSX4L1 spaces (0100). However, the change was only made to the
    strings being formatted and not to the actual format string. As result, the
    two ASCII spaces in the format string are considered ordinary characters
    in the VSX4L1 locale, not white-space ones. The XPG4 strptime() page says that
    white-space characters are "as specified by the isspace() function". It seems
    that the ASCII space characters should have been changed to VSX4L1 space
    characters in the format string, as well.

    Test Description:
    If strptime() is supported:
    When format is a string made up of a series of the following field
    descriptors :
    a. d day of month - 01 to 31 (with or without leading zeros)
    b. D date in %m/%d/%y format
    c. H hour - 00 to 23 (with or without leading zeros)
    d. I hour - 00 to 12 (with or without leading zeros)
    e. j day of year - 001 to 366
    f. M minute - 00 to 59 (with or without leading zeros)
    g. m month of year - 01 to 12 (with or without leading zeros)
    h. n any whitespace character sequence
    i. r time in %I:%M:%S %p format
    j. S second - 00 to 61 (with or without leading zeros)
    k. t any whitespace character sequence
    l. T time in %H:%M:%S notation
    m. U week number of year - 00 to 53 (Sunday as first day of week)
    (with or without leading zeros)
    n. w day of week - 0 to 6 (Sunday = 0) (with or without leading
    zeros)
    o. W week number of year - 00 to 53 (Monday as first day of week)
    (with or without leading zeros)
    p. y last two digits of year - 00 to 99 (with or without leading
    zeros)
    q. Y four digit year including century
    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. Occurrences of "%%" in the format string are matched
    against a single "%" and do not affect 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
    FOR each item in the assertion, and for fields with and without
    leading zeroes where allowed, and for locales VSX4L1 and VSX4L2
    where indicated:
    INITIALISE the tm structure to be set by strptime()
    INITIALISE the tm structure that strptime() will be checked
    against.
    IF testing the %p format:
    SET the locale for LC_TIME to VSX4L1 or VSX4L2
    OBTAIN the relevant pseudo-language data using pslanginfo()
    CONVERT the date and time string to a tm structure using
    strptime()
    VERIFY strptime() returns the expected tm structure.

    Test Information:

    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.

    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
