    Problem Summary TSD4U.00043 The test may fail because of improper initialization
    Problem Text
    The test may fail because of improper initialization

    fmtmsg() Test 19 fails because it does not clean out the
    "/dev/console" file between tests case. "/dev/console" is a
    regular file during this test, and it contains output from the
    previous test case. If

    truncate("/dev/console",0)

    is inserted before calling fmtmsg(), then the test passes. There
    is nothing actually wrong with fmtmsg.
