    Problem Summary PG4U.00093 This was refused because it is a duplicate. Use PIN4U.00005 instead.
    Problem Text
    The XPG4, Version 2 specification is inconsistent in its prototype
    specification for setstate(). The synopsis under the interface
    description states makes the following requirement:

    char *setstate(const char *state);

    whereas, the prototype requirement under the <stdlib.h> description is
    as follows:

    char *setstate(char *state);

    The test is testing against the description for <stdlib.h>, however, the
    correct form of the prototype is that as defined under the interface page.
    This has already been addressed in the XPG5 <stdlib.h> description which
    has been updated to match the interface page. The test needs to be
    corrected as well.
    Test Output
    TEST CASE: stdlib.h

    TEST PURPOSE #35
    The function char *setstate(char *state) shall be
    declared with the correct prototype in stdlib.h.
    TEST: Argument and return typing
    TEST: Prototype match
