    Problem Text
    As stated, all the above failures are because our implementation on
    PATH_MAX is based on POSIX.1-1990.

    According to the Interpretation Request Reference : VWG/017/070792,
    the definition of PATH_MAX was debated at length during the development
    of XSH4. In the end it was decided to align with the draft POSIX 1003.1a.
    However since this is still a draft standard, for testing we should align
    with POSIX.1-1990 as published and interpreted. Therefore, we should allow
    either behavior.

    Action on VSX developer:
    (iv) -- Document as a permanent grey area. The tests will be left as
    they are, this way, if tests fail awareness of this issue will be
    raised, and implementors can then make the choice to align either
    with the draft P1003.1a or to apply for a waiver which would be
    granted.

    Test Output
    The following tests failed because our implementation on PATH_MAX
    is aligned with POSIX.1-1990 rather than draft P1003.1a.
