    Problem Text
    T.error, assertion 2 has a coding causing the above failure. The
    following lines should go after calling t_error() because t_error()
    function sets proper "locale" for message catalog and the testcase expects
    same string as the return from t_error().

    (void) strcpy(endexp, strerror(EINTR));
    (void) strcat(endexp, "\n");

    Also, the endbuf pointer should point as
    endbuf = &buf[strlen(buf) - strlen(endexp)];
    not like,
    endbuf = &buf[strlen(buf) - strlen(endexp) - 1];

    On our implementation, the test works fine with above changes.

    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    The XTI specification states that "The contents of the error message strings
    describing the value in errno are the same as those returned by the strerror()
    function with an argument of zero." The XTI specification does not require
    that these two functions should be called in a particular order in order to
    effect this requirement. It seems that the call to t_error() is making a
    change to the locale which is not effected by the previous call to strerror(),
    and that this change to the locale is then carried over into the calling
    process as a side effect of the call to t_error().

    It is recommended that this waiver request is refused.
