    Problem Text

    An incorrect data type specification may cause a core dump on
    implementations where the sizes of "int" and "long" are different.

    In the test suite we have:

    static void test1A(void)
    {
    .....
    tet_infoline("TEST: Pass %s parameter");
    Test("%p1%s", (int)"Hello", 0, 0, 0, 0, "Hello");
    .....
    }

    The function called is:
    static void
    Test(char *param_string, long p1, long p2, long p3, long p4, long p5,
    char *expected)
    {
    .....
    actual = (char *)tparm(param_string, p1, p2, p3, p4, p5, 0, 0, 0,
    0);
    .....
    }

    The function is expecting a stack of longs and getting a stack of ints.
    In our implementation ints are 32 bits and longs 64, so trouble is sure
    to ensue.

    This matter was addressed by the fix to TSD4U.00247, but the fix is not
    complete.
