    Test Identification Xlib11/PropertyNotify 1
    Linked Problem Reports MSF4W.00026, (in, old, system)
    Problem Summary TSD4W.00172 The test may fail on systems where long and int are not the same size, as it passes 32-bit data to XChangeProperty in an int instead of a long.
    Problem Text
    This test fails in 64bit environments with the reasons given in a
    previous request, which received a temporary waiver MSF4W.00026.
    It seems to be related to the recently refused request req.4.W.00157
    regarding XChangeProperty and related tests.

    Our fix for PropertyNotify causes the XChangeProperty fails.

    Our engineers state;
    "We have two test cases here:
    1. in tset/Xlib5/chngprprty/Test.c, "long" type data is passed to
    XChangeProperty when format is specified as 32.
    2. in tset/Xlib11/prprtyntfy/Test.c, "int" type data is passed to
    XChangeProperty when format is specified as 32.

    For 64-bit OS, these two test cases can't be correct at same time.
    Since TOG thinks the test case 1 is correct (according to the TOG
    response to the waiver request req.4.W.00157, then test case 2
    must be wrong. We should claim a waiver for PropertyNotify using
    exactly same reason that TOG used to refuse the waiver request
    for req.4.W.00157.
    We believe the previous PropertyNotify conclusion was incorrect. "

    Review Response
    This is accepted as a fault in the test suite.

    As regards MSF4W.00026, I disagree with the submitter's statement "We
    believe the previous PropertyNotify conclusion was incorrect". The
    conclusion in MSF4W.00026 was correct, based on the information given in
    the request, where the submitter stated that the problem was due to a
    fault in the 64-bit X server. If the problem was in the X server then
    it would still occur when a 32-bit client was used with the 64-bit
    X server. With hindsight, it seems likely that the problem did not
    occur in the 64-bit X server as claimed, but in the 64-bit X library.
