    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations that use tab(s) rather than spaces
    to indent the output.

    The test in question verifies the following assertion:

    When the set option lisp is set and the set option autoindent or ai
    is set, then LISP programming language expressions are automatically
    indented correctly.

    This assertion is based on the following language in XCU4 Issue 2, p. 319:

    lisp

    [Default off]

    Autoindent mode and the(, ), {, }, [[ and ]] commands in visual mode
    are suitably modified for lisp code.

    The test suite tests this by creating a sample output file and then
    executing a vi session (through a script processed by expect). When
    the test is executed on our implementation, the sample output file and
    the expected output file differ in the amount of white space that
    precedes the last two lines of the file. (See sample output; our
    implementation produces a tab where the expected output has seven
    leading spaces.) Since the exact format of the file is not specified
    anywhere in XPG4, this is clearly a grey area in the specification.
    The format produced by our implementation is as "suitable" (from lisp's
    point of view) as the expected format.
