    Problem Text
    This was refused because it is a duplicate. Use TSD4U.00127 instead.

    This testcase, which tests cumulative vector length wrapping,
    does not have the vector pointers pointing to fully accessible
    malloc()'ed storage. The test is currently returning a -1/EFAULT
    instead of the expected -1/EINVAL, because our implementation detects
    the un-allocated storage condition before it detects the wrapping
    cumulative length condition. It does so because the code checks
    individual vector lengths, storage validity, and accumulates total
    vector length, all in the same loop.
    Having one loop instead of two was consciously done to
    increase performance for all read and write paths. Our rationale,
    for leaving the code this way, is that there are 2 possible errors
    and either errno is equally acceptable.
    Test Output
    TEST PURPOSE #12
    If the implementation supports a communications domain
    and a socket type:
    EINVAL in errno and return -1 on a call to ssize_t
    sendmsg(int socket, const struct msghdr *message, int
    flags) when the sum of the iov_len values overflows a
    ssize_t.
    TEST: AF_INET SOCK_STREAM
    PREP: Create test sockaddr_in: address = 198.151.241.50, port = 62701
    PREP: Wait for server to be ready
    PREP: Create a socket
    PREP: Connect socket to address 198.151.241.50, port 62701
    TEST: Send data with excessive lengths
    TEST: Return value
    TEST: errno value
    ERROR: sendmsg call failed incorrectly, errno was 118(EFAULT - Bad
    address) should have been EINVAL
    CLEANUP: Send SIGTERM to server
    PREP: Server: create socket
    PREP: Server: bind address 198.151.241.50, port 62701 to socket
    PREP: Server: listen on socket
