    Problem Text
    The write() to the slave tty is timing out (errno=EINTR) because output
    was stopped. Our implementation does not have buffered output queues
    (our VSX_TERMIOS_BUFFERED configuration variable is 'N') so the write()
    should be expected to block.

    Test 14 of i_spchars does this test in a more portable manner. It
    checks the VSX_TERMIOS_BUFFERED variable and if buffered output queues
    are available, it expects the write to succeed. If buffered queues are
    not supported, the test expects the write() to block get interrupted by
    a SIGALRM signal. Test 17 should be modified to be like test 14 and
    take into account whether or not the implementation has buffered output
    queues.
    Test Output
    /tset/POSIX.os/devclass/i_spchars/T.i_spchars 17 Unresolved

    Test Description:
    If general terminal interface supported:
    If an implementation supports changing the START and STOP
    characters, then the values for the START and STOP characters can
    be changed.
    Posix Ref: Component Terminal Interface Assertion 7.1.1.9-62(C)

    write() to VSX_TERMIOS_TTY failed
