    Test Identification xcurses/tparm 1
    Problem Summary TSD4U.00247 This test does not accomodate 64 bit implementations.
    Problem Text
    Here is the source code from CAPIxcurses/ftparm/[df]tparm.c:


    static void test1A(void)
    {
    ....

    tet_infoline("TEST: Pass '%%c' parameter");
    Test("%p1%s", (int)"Hello", 0, 0, 0, 0, "Hello");

    ....
    }

    static void
    Test(char *param_string, int p1, int p2, int p3, int p4, int p5, char
    *expected)
    {
    char *actual;

    actual = (char *)tparm(param_string, p1, p2, p3, p4, p5, 0 , 0, 0,
    0);
    ....
    }

    tparm() expects its second through tenth arguments to be "long". On
    our 64-bit implementations "long" is a larger type than "int", so
    tparm() can exhaust the stack and cause a segmentation violation if
    given "int" arguments.

    ---
    Note:

    A second deficiency becomes evident when this one is patched out. In:

    tet_infoline("TEST: Pass '%%~' parameter");
    Test("%p1%~%x", 0x0000f0f0, 0, 0, 0, 0, "ffff0f0f");

    The test is assuming that 0x0000f0f0 is the one's complement of
    0xffff0f0f. This will fail when a "long" is larger than 32 bits:

    520|1 1 1659 2 39|TEST: Pass '%%~' parameter
    520|1 1 1659 2 40|ERROR: tparm('%p1%~%x', 61680, 0, 0, 0, 0) Produced 'fffffffff
