    Problem Text

    The expected result is incorrect for the above tests:

    for test1 in assertion 19 the test expects:

    pr-[A-Z-]rw[A-Z-]rw[A-Z-]

    However, the umask is set to 27 and the command executed is
    mkfifo -m +rw. On page 527 of the XPG5 spec, it states the following:

    "-m mode ... In the symbolic_mode strings, the op characters "+" and
    "-" will be interpreted relative to an assumed initial mode of
    a=rw."

    Thus for this test

    initial fifo mode rw-rw-rw-
    symbolic_mode + rw-rw-rw-
    intermediate mode rw-rw-rw-
    umask 27 ----w-rwx
    final mode rw-r-----


    We don't see how permissions for other of rw could ever be expected
    with a umask of 27

    similiarly for the second test in assertion 19; umask is 27, the
    command is mkfifo -m +x and the expected result is
    prw[a-z]rw[a-z]rw[A-Z-].

    initial fifo mode rw-rw-rw-
    symbolic_mode + --x--x--x
    intermediate mode rwxrwxrwx
    umask 27 ----w-rwx
    final mode rwxr-x---


    Similiarly for assertion 30: umask is u=rwx,g=rx,o=x (026), the
    command is mkfifo -m -w, and the expected result is
    pr-[A-Z-]rw[A-Z-]rw[A-Z-].

    initial fifo mode rw-rw-rw-
    symbolic_mode - -w--w--w-
    intermediate mode r--r--r--
    umask 26 ----w-rw-
    final mode r--r-----
