    Problem Text
    This test may fail on conforming implementations due to invalid logic.

    The XPG4 pr spec states

    -i[char][gap]

    "In output, replace multiple space characters with tab characters
    whenever two or more adjacent space characters reach column positions
    gap+1, 2*gap+1, 3*gap+1 and so forth."

    The following is the contents of the input file for tp18 and tp20:

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7
    123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012
    12 5 90123456 123 90 7 5678 789 9012

    The test expects the following output for tp20:
    12X5X90123456X123XX90XX7XX5678XX789XXX9012

    The correct expectation for tp20 should be:
    12X5X90123456X123 X90XX7XX5678XX789 XX9012

    The test expects the following output for tp18:
    12\t5\t90123456\t123\t\t90\t\t7\t\t5678\t\t789\t\t\t9012

    The correct expectation for tp18 should be:
    12\t5\t90123456\t123 \t90\t\t7\t\t5678\t\t789 \t\t9012


    In test purposes 18 and 20, the gap is specified as 4. For the given input to
    both test purposes, space character replacement at positions 25 and 61 is
    incorrect.

    6*gap+1=25 15*gap+1=61
    | |
    123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012
    12 5 90123456 123 90 7 5678 789 9012

    For the case of 6*gap+1, which is position 25, and 15*gap+1,
    which is position 61, the test expects space replacement to occur
    at these positions. In the case of tp20 it is an X and in the
    case of tp18 it is a tab character. It should not expect any
    space replacement at these points because there is only one
    adjacent space to these column positions in both cases. The
    standard requires two or more ADJACENT space characters to these
    column positions, there is only one adjacent space character in
    both cases.
