    Problem Text
    The problem with both test cases is a mistaken assumption on the
    wide-character representation. The test calls btowc with each
    singlebyte character defined in the vsx4l1chars[] array and compares
    the wide-character value returned by btowc with the specified
    singlebyte character value itself. If they differ, the test reports a
    failure. As there is no guarantee that the wide-character
    representation of a singlebyte character value corresponds to the
    singlebyte character value itself, such an assumption used in the
    btowc and wctob tests are wrong.

    When the above comparison failed, the test tries to output the failed
    singlebyte character as is. Those characters defined in the
    vsx4l1chars[] array are not from the portable character set, so they
    are not printable in the C locale. VSX should not output
    non-printable characters in the journal file. Those characters should
    be translated into the printable characters using the psl_to_asc()
    function in genlib. Please refer to "2.4 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS" in
    the Pseudo-language Specification (for VSXgen 1.6), page 2.
