    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSC version 4.1.4
    Test Identification POSIX.upe/vi 63, 86
    Problem Summary PG4C.00038 The test may fail on implementations that implement POSIX 1003.2b/D11 behavior.
    Problem Text
    The test assertions listed test an area of POSIX.2 which the POSIX.2
    interpretation committe has determined to be in error (see IEEE
    interpretations PASC 1003.2-92 #64, question #43).

    Historically, the ^D and ^U commands would set the current line to the last or
    first line of the edit buffer, when line plus count would exceed the bounds
    of the edit buffer. The correct behaviour is described in POSIX.2b draft.11
    section 5.35.7.2.2 page 209 lines 3281-3282, and section 5.35.7.2.11 page 212
    lines 3381-3382.

    Our implementation conforms to the draft POSIX.2b standard which mandates
    this historical practice. Since this area of the specification is subject
    to change, we request a temporary interpretation allowing historical practice.

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

    Test purpose 63 is the same as ruling TIN4C.00020.

    Test purpose 86 already (mistakenly) tests the POSIX.2b behavior,
    so no waiver can be granted for the specified reason. It appears
    the IUT is failing because it exhibits the behavior mandated by
    POSIX.2.

    We recommend that this request is re-submitted claiming a Test Suite
    Deficiency.
