    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations where default directory prepending
    occurs before expansion of back-tick expressions in variable definitions.
    These variable definitions are not conformant because it is undefined
    how back-tick expressions are treated in mailx variable assignments.

    The expect script uses constructs like the following line:

    send "set record=`pwd`/mailx_dir/mailx_out_2\r"

    Expect is having problems with the "`pwd`" in the line. VSC 4.1.5 has
    recognized this, the following changes were made in 178_1.exp

    Startup
    set cwd [pwd] <== this line was added
    SpawnSh

    and the "`pwd`" was changed to "$cwd" in all the set statements.

    Changing this in the VSC 4.1.4B 178_1.exp, our implementation passes this
    assertion. In addition, the tests work from the command line;
    mailx_dir/mailx_out_2 and mailx_dir/mailx_out_3 are created.
