    Problem Text
    Our Implementation on PATH_MAX is aligned with the POSIX.1-1990
    standard rather than POSIX 1003.1a. In running the VSX 4.3.5B
    test suite we see failures, related to this alignment, in almost
    all of the testcases documented in PIN4.026. However, we also have
    a new failure, the output for which appears above.

    We are requesting a permanent interpretation for this additional
    failure.
    Test Output
    /tset/XOPEN.os/genuts/ftw/T.ftw 9.Failed

    Test Description:
    If _POSIX_PATH_MAX <= {PATH_MAX} <= PCTS_PATH_MAX, then ftw() returns
    -1 and sets errno to ENAMETOOLONG if the length of path exceeds
    PATH_MAX;
    otherwise
    a call to ftw() when the length of the path argument equals
    PCTS_PATH_MAX does not give an ENAMETOOLONG error.

    Test Strategy:
    CREATE directory using crdir()
    IF pathconf() returns a value of PATH_MAX <= PCTS_PATH_MAX, and not -1
    TRAVERSE file tree via a pathname of length PATH_MAX using ftw()
    VERIFY that ftw() succeeded
    TRAVERSE file tree via a pathname of length PATH_MAX+1 using ftw()
    VERIIFY that ftw() returned -1 and errno was set to ENAMETOOLONG
    OTHERWISE
    TRAVERSE file tree via a pathname of length PCTS_PATH_MAX using
    ftw()
    VERIFY that ftw() succeeded

    Test Information:
    ftw(<1023 char path>, ..., 2) returned 1 instead of -1
