    Test Identification POSIX.cmd/pax 182
    Problem Summary TSD4C.00192 This test may fail on non-ASCII based implementations.
    Problem Text

    Tp182 has an ascii dependency. This test as written will fail on
    all implementations that are not ascii.

    Since the specification requires that all of the header fields be
    ascii data, the output from the dd will be ustar, in ascii. The
    implementation under test is ebcdic based. This will cause the
    test:
    [ X`dd if=test_file.pax bs=1 skip=257 count=5 2>/dev/null` = Xustar ]
    to fail.

    The following demonstrates this with an archive t.pax:
    $ dd if=t.pax bs=1 skip=257 count=5 | od -ch
    FSUM6384 5+0 records in
    5+0 records out
    0000000000 165 163 164 / 162
    75 73 74 61 72
    $ dd if=t.pax bs=1 skip=257 count=5 | iconv -f ISO8859-1 -t IBM-1047
    FSUM6384 5+0 records in
    5+0 records out
    ustar$

    The test needs to be modified to use the iso646 function.
