    Problem Text
    There are several problems with vrpt the report generator. The actual
    number of PTHR.hdr testcases is listed as 368 instead of 365 that vrpt
    expects. Looking at the journal file it looks like 368 is the the
    correct number. The numbers for PTHR.os are incorrect also. T.Documentation
    and T.General do not have macro tests, so the numbers for PTHR.os F and
    PTHR.os M cannot be the same. Looking at the journal file it appears
    the correct numbers are 15 assertions for Documentation and General,
    554 assertions for functional and 554 assertions for macros. Thus it
    looks the expected numbers should the following:

    Section | Expect
    ____________|______________
    |
    PTHR.hdr | 368
    PTHR.os F | 569
    PTHR.os M | 554
    TOTAL | 1491
    ____________|_____________

    In addition vrpt has a problem extracting the assertion abstracts from
    the DOC files. For example:

    Posix Ref: Component PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_GETPROTOCOL Assertion
    9945-1:1996 2.7.3-52(C)/r%^PError: format error in archive /tsui
    tes/VSTH/vsth/MAN/tset/PTHR.hdr/misc/pthread_2/L.pthread_2_t,
    could not extract file




    Test Output
    Section | Expect Actual
    ____________|______________
    |
    PTHR.hdr | 365 368
    PTHR.os F | 564 555
    PTHR.os M | 564 550
    TOTAL | 1493 1473

    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    We agree with the applicant that there is an anomoly in the number
    of expected tests. This will be corrected in a forthcoming patch
    to VSTH.

    We suspect the problem is that the lines in the L.testset_[ts] files
    where the problems occur are longer than 80 bytes, as this is the size
    of the buffer used in SRC/common/vlib/arc_extr.c. The code will happily
    read past the end of the buffer if any lines are too long.

    As an official authorized workaround either of the following changes
    can be made to the VSXgen code.

    To make it handle longer lines, increase the #define LINELEN in arc_extr.c
    line 97 .

    Or, to make it cope properly with lines too long for the buffer, change
    the following line in the print_file() function (line 521):

    if ((ret = fgets(buf, (int)fsize+1, arc_fp)) == (char *)NULL)
    to:
    if ((ret = fgets(buf, LINELEN+1, arc_fp)) == (char *)NULL)
