    Problem Summary TSD4U.00277 ENOMEM errors reported by TET API calls.
    Problem Text
    These tests start with saving memory limits and then resetting
    it to a lower value. After this they use up all available memory
    with malloc calls. The test for strdup function then frees up
    some memory to see if strdup can make use of the space
    that was freed up and then verifies if a malloc for more
    memory than available will return ENOMEM.

    The test for valloc proceeds on the similar lines, first
    consuming
    all heap memory and then using valloc to try and allocate more,
    expecting a NULL pointer to be returned with errno set to ENOMEM.

    After all memory is consumed in both of these tests, TET API
    calls
    are used for writing messages to the journal. These calls need
    to allocate memory and fail as adequate memory is not available.
    The tests need to be changed so that the journalling is postponed
    until memory limits can be restored at the end, right after
    determining the disposition.
    Test Output
    TEST CASE: strdup
    The pointer returned by a call to char *strdup(const
    char *s1) shall be accepted by free().
    PREP: Set heap size
    PREP: Allocate remaining heap space

    TCM Error during exec of file /tset/CAPIbase/fstrdup/fstrdup2
    system 0, errno = 12 (ENOMEM): (bufchk.c, 92): can't grow data
    buffer, wanted 4

    TCM Error during exec of file /tset/CAPIbase/fstrdup/fstrdup2
    system 0, reply code = ER_ERR: tet_infoline(): can't send info
    line to XRESD: "PREP: Free
    some memory up for strdup()"

    TEST PURPOSE #2
    2 NORESULT

    TEST CASE: valloc
    If the Legacy Feature Group is supported or the
    implementation supports the valloc() function as defined
    in System Interfaces and Headers, Issue 5:
    ENOMEM in errno and return a null pointer on a call to
    void *valloc(size_t size) when storage space available
    is insufficient.
    PREP: Determine if the function valloc() is supported
    INFO: The implementation supports this function
    as defined in System Interfaces and Headers, Issue 5
    PREP: Lower the heap size
    PREP: Consume remaining heap space

    TCM Error during exec of file /tset/CAPIbase/fvalloc/fvalloc4
    system 0, errno = 12 (ENOMEM): (bufchk.c, 92): can't grow data
    buffer, wanted 4

    TCM Error during exec of file /tset/CAPIbase/fvalloc/fvalloc4
    system 0, reply code = ER_ERR: tet_infoline(): can't send info

    to valloc() returns a NULL pointer"
