    Problem Summary TSD4C.00218 This test may fail on implementations because X maybe a part of a pid.
    Problem Text
    This request is based on SR #2501.

    This test executes the following command...

    if grep -q -E 'File name is file[^X ]+ end' file.stdout 2>/dev/null

    where the bracket expression contain <X><space><tab>.
    The spec for mktemp() which is called by m4 for the maketemp
    directive states each X of the 'XXXXXX' string is replaced by a
    single byte character from the portable file name character set.

    It does not say that 'X' is not part of this 'portable file
    name character set'. The test should check this in a different
    way maybe checking that at least one of the 'X's has changed.
    Test Output
    520|180 1 922543 1 1|Assertion #1073 (C):
    520|180 1 922543 1 11|Contents of file.stdout:

    520|180 1 922543 1 13|-107- Output differs from expected output.
