    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations because an uninitialized
    variable sometimes causes a SIGSEGV and the program aborts.

    Assertions 1-36 fail to produce results on our implementation because
    of a segment violation that occurs when running test36. The sigsegv
    occurs because eindex is never initialized in the testcase. Adding
    the following statement eindex=0; after the first tet_infoline()
    allows tests 1-36 to run completely.

    Correcting this in the test36, then points to another problem with test36.

    The following is produced with the corrected test36:

    TEST PURPOSE #36
    The values defined for errno in errno.h
    shall be distinct, except that the value for EWOULDBLOCK
    may be equal to the value for EAGAIN.
    PREP: Collect all the values
    TEST: Uniqueness
    ERROR: Value for EISCONN (75) equal to value for .
    36 FAIL

    The source contains the following statement:
    /*must be updated if number of values changes in XPG4 or 1170 spec*/
    #define NERRNO 40+35 /*#XPG4 errnos + #1170 errnos*/

    When I count the number in the spec XPG4 V2 XSH, pages 750-751, I get
    76 signal defines. This causes ENODATA never to be checked.
