    Problem Report Number 1342
    Submitter's Classification Test Suite problem
    State Resolved
    Resolution Test Suite Deficiency (TSD)
    Problem Resolution ID TSD.X.0624

    Product Standard Internationalised System Calls and Libraries Extended (UNIX 95)
    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSU version 4.1.1
    Test Identification base/vfork 9
    Problem Summary TSD4U.00193 This test may fail on slow implementations where the vfork() takes longer than 1 clock tick.
    Problem Text
    This test fails on our slower machines because the time for process creation
    is more than one clock tick.

    /*allow a little slack*/
    if (c_buffer.tms_utime > 1) {
    _exit(99);
    }

    On my machine c_buffer.tms_utime is 3 and so the test fails.

    The purpose of the test is to assure that the child's tms_utime
    is set to zero and not inherited from the parent. Therefore the following
    code should be appropriate:

    if (c_buffer.tms_utime >= p_buffer.tms_utime) {
    _exit(99);
    }
