    Problem Text

    This test may fail on implementations because the incorrect
    semaphore set size is being checked.

    The test is attempting to verify that the proper sempaphore size
    is displayed when a specific semaphore is checked.

    During the setup of the test, the sem_ID semaphore set is created
    with a size of 2 (-NumSems 2) as shown in the ipcs_startup() code below:

    ipcs_semget2="Semget -Key $keyvalue2 -NumSems 2 -Permissions 0624 -Use"
    ...
    #
    # Setup a semaphore that has not been used yet
    #
    sem_ID=$($ipcs_semget)
    if [ $? != 0 ] || [ "$sem_ID" = "-1" ]
    then
    delete_all "ERROR: $ipcs_semget returned $sem_ID"
    return 1
    else
    sem_KEY=$keyvalue
    sem_MODE=--ra--a-r--
    sem_OWNER=$(GetConfig VSC_TESTER)
    sem_GROUP=$(GetConfig VSC_GRP_NAME_1)
    sem_NSEMS=2

    When calling check_field, the test improperly checks for "1" in field
    7 rather than "2" when selecting the sem_ID line as shown in the code
    in tp1083 below:

    check_field 7 "1" "$(select_id $sem_ID "$lines")" > $CT_STDOUT 2>
    $CT_STDERR

    As a result, the comparison fails, and the test fails.

    Specifically, in tp1083 change,

    check_field 7 "1" "$(select_id $sem_ID "$lines")" > $CT_STDOUT 2>
    $CT_STDERR

    to

    check_field 7 "2" "$(select_id $sem_ID "$lines")" > $CT_STDOUT 2>
    $CT_STDERR

    Review Response
    It is true that there is a fault in this test, however the test output
    also shows that the implementation is not compliant. The requirements
    for output of the ipcs command were amended in corrigendum U032 (March
    1998). On systems which correctly implement the amended specification
    this test fails differently. The failure is covered by PIN4C.00045.

    It is recommended that this request is refused.
