    Problem Text
    This test may fail on non-ASCII implementations because of
    a hard-coded ASCII character.

    This test has a dependancy on the ASCII encoding for the escape
    character (octal 033 or hex 1b). The script has the following
    statement:

    printf "here will be an escape:\033:\nhere will be another escape:\033:\n" > vi_exp_1

    The output of the test is a little deceiving because it includes
    unprintable characters. Here is what the files look like with their
    hexadecimal representations:

    out.stdout:
    ! here will be an escape: :
    5488984A89948848948A8898727
    A08595069330250150523175A7A

    ! here will be another escape: :
    5488984A8994884899A88948A8898727
    A0859506933025015638590523175A7A

    vi_exp_1:

    ! here will be an escape: :
    5488984A89948848948A8898717
    A08595069330250150523175ABA

    ! here will be another escape: :
    5488984A8994884899A88948A8898717
    A0859506933025015638590523175ABA

    0x27 is the proper representation for the escape character on our
    implementation. This test has a hard-coded dependency for the value
    of the escape character. The statement in the test should be changed
    to something like the following so the value can be configured
    correctly for whatever platform the tests are being run on:

    printf "here will be an escape:\\${VSC_ESC}:\nhere will be another escape:\\${VSC_ESC}:\n" > vi_exp_1

    Test Output
    Assertion #87 (C): control-V/Q escape special characters
    Standard output isn't the same as file 'vi_exp_1'
    diff of "out.stdout" and "vi_exp_1":
