    Problem Text
    The test failed intermittently, need more time to investigate
    the system deficiency.
    Test Output
    Test Description:
    If general terminal interface supported:
    When tcsetattr(fildes, TCSADRAIN, termios_p) is called from a
    foreground process, it shall set the parameters associated with the
    terminal described by fildes from the termios structure referenced
    by termios_p, and shall return zero. The call to tcsetattr() shall
    wait for data in the terminal's output queue to be drained.
    Posix Ref: Component TCSETATTR Assertion 7.2.1.2-06(C)

    Test Strategy:
    OPEN and initialise terminal file and loop back file
    SET time out for WAITTIME
    WRITE data to loop back file using write()
    WRITE data to terminal file using write()
    OBTAIN terminal information using tcgetattr(tty_fildes, tty_termios_p)
    SET terminal information using tcsetattr(tty_fildes, TCSADRAIN,
    tty_termios_p)
    VERIFY that tcsetattr() returned zero.
    FLUSH output terminal file data using tcflush()
    (This will discard any terminal output not yet transmitted)
    SLEEP to allow data to become available for reading
    SET time out for WAITTIME
    READ from loop back file using read()
    VERIFY that no terminal output was discarded
