    Problem Summary PG4C.00067 This test purpose fails because we redirected stdout and stderr when running tcc.
    Problem Text
    This test case fails because we redirect stdout and stderr on our tcc
    invocation. We do this in order to capture the results directory name
    and any other important output or error that may be produced. There is
    nothing in the supporting documentation for VSC4.1.5 to indicate that
    we cannot or should not do this. There is only this failure because
    the test case developer has used file descriptor 1 to test this
    assertion. The assertion itself says nothing about not redirecting
    stdout or stderr. Although the -t option to test does specify that
    the file descriptor must be associated with a terminal, it should be
    possible to cause this using expect, rather than assuming that file
    descriptor 1 is always associated with a terminal.

    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    We recommend this request be refused.

    We agree the documentation should more clearly state that VSC
    branding runs should NEVER be done in background or using I/O
    redirection. Tests other than the one mentioned here may also
    fail improperly if this happens.

    We agree that this test can be rewritten to eliminate this problem.

    However we do not believe these are grounds for granting a TSD.
    If the test is run in the proper environment it will work properly.
