    Product Standard Internationalised System Calls and Libraries Extended V3 (UNIX 03)
    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSTH version 5.3.3
    Test Identification PTHR.os/cfuncs/strerror_r 1
    Specification Base Definitions Issue 6
    Location in Spec none, testcase problem
    Problem Summary Use of global variable in multiple threads
    Problem Text In Test 1 vsth_weave() is used to kick off 8 threads running t1_t1().
    t1_t1() mallocs and free storage for an element msgp of the global
    structure errtab. So, one thread mallocs and other threads may free it
    or overwrite it, etc. The behavior can be different on different systems
    depend on timings, no. of cpus, etc. Adding
    pthread_mutex_lock(&T1_mx)/pthread_mutex_unlock(&T1_mx) around the
    for loop in t1_t1() to serialize the "errtab" access corrects the problem.
