    Test Suite VSU version 4.1.0
    Test Identification base/vfork 14
    Problem Summary TSD4U.00141 This test may fail on all implementations because an incorrect argument is used in a semctl() call.
    Problem Text
    This vfork() test calls semctl() with an optional fourth argument.
    as documented in the XPG4 specification for semctl() which states:

    The fourth argument is optional and depends upon the operation
    requested. If required, it is of type union semun, which the
    application must explicitly declare:

    union semun {
    int val;
    struct semid_ds *buf;
    unsigned short *array;
    } arg;

    This test fails to make this explicit declaration and as a result,
    the test may segv and fail with an UNRESOLVED test result.
    Test Output

    A successful call to pid_t vfork(void) shall clear all
    the child process' semadj values.
    PREP: Allocating semaphores
    PREP: Set semadj value to 0
    ERROR: TEST TERMINATED DUE TO SIGSEGV SIGNAL (11)
