    Problem Text

    The sem_unlink() setup in pthread_cancel test 7 fails because the
    setup function sem_unlink_csf() in SRC/common/vsthlib/vsth_cps.c
    tries to sem_open() on a semaphore named "/var/tmp/<filename>".
    The "/var/tmp/<filename>" is created by tmpnam():

    p = tmpnam(Vsth_sem_unlink_buf);
    if ( p == Vsth_sem_unlink_buf )
    {
    Sem_unlink_sem = sem_open(Vsth_sem_unlink_buf, O_CREAT, S_IRWXU, 0);

    Our implementation of tmpnam() always generates a file name using
    a default path prefix of "/var/tmp". XSH5 only says that tmpnam()
    "generates a string that is a valid filename and that is not the same
    as the name of an existing file." XSH5 does not disallow creation of
    this file in an implementation specific directory.

    Using tmpnam() to create a file for use in this test is a problem
    because our implementation of sem_open() requires that the first
    character of name must be a slash (/) character and the remaining
    characters of name not include any slash characters. Thus a filename
    with more than one slash character, such as /var/tmp/<filename>, results
    in the sem_open() function failing with EINVAL.

    XSH5 specifies the following for sem_open():

    "The interpretation of slash characters other than the leading slash
    character in name is implementation-dependent."

    We believe the test is incorrect in its reliance on implementation-dependent
    behavior.
