    Problem Text
    The function in this test that performs rounding for the expected
    string has an ASCII dependency which makes the test round incorrectly
    on implementations that are no ASCII-based. The function fval()
    has the following code:

    /*
    * Do rounding
    */
    if(*(ibuf + i) != '\0' && (*(ibuf + i) - 48) >= 5)
    obuf[j - 1] = obuf[j - 1] + 1;

    The expression (*(ibuf + i) - 48) will take a character and subtract
    the ASCII value for '0' (decimal 48) from it. This value is then
    compared against 5 to see if the previous digit needs to be round up.
    Using the decimal value for an ASCII character like this is
    non-portable. A more portable statement would use the expression
    (*(ibuf + i) - '0') or simply compare (*(ibuf + 1)) against the
    character '5'.
    Test Output
    /tset/XPG4.os/genuts/strfmon/T.strfmon 17 Failed

    Test Description:
    If strfmon() is supported:
    When the i or n conversion specification is preceded by a right
    precision specification of the form .p, where p is a decimal digit
    string, then strfmon() formats the result with p decimal
    characters after the radix character, appending additional zeros
    as necessary and rounding values to the number of digits
    specified.
    Otherwise:
    A call to strfmon() returns -1 and sets errno to ENOSYS.

    Test Strategy:
    SET locale for LC_MONETARY category
    CALL strfmon(buf,maxsize,format,value)
    VERIFY that buf[] contains the expected value
    CALL strfmon(buf,maxsize,format,value)
    VERIFY that buf[] contains the expected value

    Test Information:
    strfmon(buf, 256, "%.4n", ...) did not return expected results
    %.pn specification formats with precision p
    Current language is VSX4L3
    Expected string : [Dm1 234^5601]
    Actual string : [Dm1 234.5600]
    strfmon(buf, 256, "%.4i", ...) did not return expected results
    %.pi specification formats with precision p
    Current language is VSX4L3
    Expected string : [DDM 1 234^5601]
    Actual string : [DDM 1 234.5600]
