    Problem Text
    These tests were converted to "use expect to ensure a controlling
    terminal exists" in response to SR # 1840.

    This test now uses spawn who -m in an expect script and expects
    that one line is written to stdout and that that line contains the
    logname of the user.

    This test now fails on the implementation under test because
    of the following:
    when spawn is run, it apparently does a setsid() to
    relinquish its controlling terminal and opens a
    new file for its controlling terminal.
    it does not issue a pututxline()
    who -m reads entries from the utmpx database for its
    information, compares each entry with the expected
    user name and tty. Since this info. is not
    in the utmpx database, nothing is written
    to stdout.

    We are not suggesting that expect be changed to issue a pututxline().
    This would present the problem of appropriate privledges.

    We don't understand why expect is used in these assertions anyway.

    The tests should always have a controlling terminal. The
    VSC4 User's Guide says that the suite should be run with
    tcc -bec vsc all
    This command requires a controlling terminal.
