    Problem Text

    This test fails because the test fails to properly compare the
    fcntl() return and the file status flags and file access mode.

    The test does the following:

    private int t4_status[T4_NFD] = { O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK | O_APPEND,
    O_RDWR | O_APPEND,
    O_WRONLY | O_NONBLOCK
    };

    fd[i] = open_to(t5_file, O_CREAT|t4_status[i], MODEGEN,
    WAITTIME)) == SYSERROR)

    rval[i] = tb_fcntl(fd[i], F_GETFL, 0, NULLFLK, NOERROR, NOERROR);

    if (rval[i] != t4_status[i])

    However, page 211 of the XPG5 XSH states:

    "F_GETFL Get the file status flags and file access modes, ...
    The file access modes can be extracted from the return
    value using the mask O_ACCMODE, which is defined in
    <fcntl.h>"

    The test cannot do a straight comparsion of the fcntl() return
    value to open() creation mask.
