    Problem Text
    XSH4 page 418 states: "If the total number of resulting bytes including
    the terminating null byte is not more than maxsize, the strfmon() function
    returns the number of bytes placed into the array pointed to by s, not
    including the terminating null byte. Otherwise, -1 is returned, the
    contents of the array are indeterminate, and errno is set to indicate the
    error." When this test calls strfmon(), the total number of resulting
    bytes is more than 3, so strfmon returns -1, sets errno to E2BIG, and the
    contents of buf are indeterminate. Since the contents of buf are
    indeterminate, VSX is not allowed to make assumptions about the contents
    of buf. For this reason, a permanent waiver is requested.
    Test Output
    /tset/XPG4.os/genuts/strfmon/T.strfmon 19 Failed

    Test Description:
    If strfmon() is supported:
    A call to strfmon() places at most maxsize characters (including
    the terminating null) into the array referenced by s.
    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), where format is set to "%5n",
    and maxsize is set less than the size of the formatted string
    VERIFY that buf[] contains no more than maxsize characters

    Test Information:
    strfmon(buf, 3, "%5n", ...) did not return expected results
    Current language is VSX4L3
    Expected string length: [2]
    Actual string length: [0]
