    Product Standard Commands and Utilities V2 (UNIX 95)
    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSC version 4.1.4
    Test Identification POSIX.upe/ex 352
    Problem Summary PG4C.00037 The test does not properly test output redirection when using the option, warn.
    Problem Text
    The test assertions listed test an area of POSIX.2 which does not reflect
    historical practice. The draft POSIX.2b standard more closely documents
    the behaviour of historical implementation of Ex and Vi.

    Historically, when warn edit option is set, any warning message was written
    to standard output. The correct behaviour is described in POSIX.2b draft.11
    section 5.10.6.1 page 128 lines 302-303, section 5.10.78.28 page 174 lines
    2010-2012, and section E.5.10.6.2 page 287 lines 907-910.

    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.
