    Problem Summary comparsion of output array is incorrect
    Problem Text The code in chkwcsftime() looks like this

    rval = wcsftime(str, size, formstr, &tmbuf);
    .
    .
    .
    else if (wcscmp(str, expstr))

    SUSv3 states for %z(in strftime):

    "... If tm_isdst is negative, no characters are returned."

    and in the wcsftime() return value:

    "... Otherwise zero is returned and the contents of the array are
    unspecified."

    So for a negative tm_isdst value wcsftime(%z) is expected to return zero
    with no usable information in the output array. But the test is
    comparing the output array expecting to find a terminating null.


    This was accepted as testcase bug, prior to the PR system coming online.
    Requesting a TSD until the next version of VSX4 is released.
    Test Output
    ************************************************************************
    /tset/XPG4.os/wtime/wcsftime_X/T.wcsftime_X 8 Failed

    Test Description:
    When tm_isdst is less than zero in the tm structure passed to
    wcsftime(), then it converts %z in the format wide string to no wide
    characters in the output wide string.
    Note: This test is only executed in POSIX01 and UNIX03 modes.

    Test Strategy:
    PARENT process will
    CREATE child process using cppair()
    CHILD process will
    INITIALISE tm structure
    SET the timezone using setenv()
    SET tm_isdst to -1
    CONVERT date and time to string using wcsftime() with %z
    VERIFY wcsftime() returns the expected wide string of the correct
    format

    Test Information:
    wcsftime(str, size, %z, &tmbuf) returned incorrectly formatted
    string
    Expected string:
    Actual string: 0x 2000 38c0 2ff2 2524 2000 34c4 2ff2 2540 2000
    38c0
