    Problem Text
    There is an interpretation that permits the prototype for putenv
    to differ from the XPG4. The interpretation number is VWG/023/080792.
    the resolution follows:

    -- start --
    X/OPEN RESOLUTION:

    The prototype for putenv should be changed in a future revision
    of the XPG from
    int putenv(const char *string);
    to
    int putenv(char *string);

    For XPG4 either definition is allowed.
    -- end --

    The system under test implements the latter definition.
