    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSW version 5.0.0
    Test Identification Xt11/XtCvtStringToFloat 4
    Problem Summary MSF4W.00013 A test failure due to a non-alignment between the reference code and its specification prior to X11R6.4.
    Problem Text
    The reference implementation (i.e. The X11 code provided by TOG) being
    tested is not in line with the standard specification for this X11
    function as defined in the "X Toolkit Intrinsics - C Language
    Interface".

    The assertion being tested is in line with the standard specification
    but the behavior of this function is not in line with the specification.

    Either the X11 reference implementation is at fault, or the
    Specification needs to be aligned with the reference implemenation. It
    is our understanding that X11R6.1 is no longer supported by TOG,
    hence we request this waiver be granted a Permanent Interpretation.

    Section 9.6.2 (New Resource Converters) of the Xt spec states:

    If the conversion cannot be performed because of an improper
    source value, a warning message should also be issued with
    XtAppWarningMsg.

    The function, XtCvtStringToFloat does not always call XtAppWarningMsg
    when a failure occurs and thus the vsw5 test purpose fails.

    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    A Minor System Fault waiver is recommended.

    Open Group procedures specify that when there is a version of the
    reference code available from The Open Group that aligns with the
    specification for a reported defect that an MSF is issued. This
    failure is XPT defect XWSog08568 which is corrected in X11R6.4.
