    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations because the defined awk
    int() function is not being used correctly.

    Assertion 811 is using awk with non-XPG4 syntax, in particular
    the following line:

    printf("%d ", (percent == (int) percent) ? percent : percent + 1)

    I cannot find any place in the XPG4 XCU V2, that states ISO C style casting
    is to be supported. In fact, I can't find casting discussed in any AWK
    reference. AWK has an internal function int() and this should be used
    here.

    The values causing the failure are as follows:

    space used = 4864
    space free = 3328

    The calculation is (4864 / (4864 + 3328)) * 100 = 59.375

    The spec requires rounding to the next highest integer, so the
    percent value expected should be 60%, the testcase is expecting
    59%.

    Our implementation produces the following for df -P:

    /dev/hd4 8192 4864 3328 60% /
