    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations that position the current
    line indicator on the last line moved after a move command.

    This test checks to see that the current line indicator will be
    set to the first of the lines moved after a move command takes
    place. This is the behavior currently mandated by the ex spec.

    POSIX 1003.2b/D11 has respecified this behavior such that the
    current line indicator will be set to the last of the lines moved
    after a move.

    Our implementation follows the .2b mandated behavior and therefore
    fails the test.

    We believe the X/Open spec should be relaigned to with .2b and
    the test should allow this behavior.
    Test Output

    Assertion #202 (C): setting of current line after <range>move command
    Note: The behavior associated with this assertion is expected
    to change in a future revision of POSIX.2.
    expected current line 2, was line 3
    Command failed: 'checkline ex_data_1 2'
    expected current line 3, was line 4
    Command failed: 'checkline ex_data_2 3'
    Assertion Result: FAIL
