    Problem Summary Implementation fails cancellation point that were changed in latest release of
    the VSTH Test Suite
    Problem Text Based on discussion by the Austin WG in May 2004, these tests were
    changed in the current version VSTH, released Aug 9, 2004. Previously these
    tests issued a FIPS test result if the system call under test could block before
    the cancellation point was checked. These tests now issue a failed result.
    Our implementation has the previous behaviour allowed for UNIX98
    branding, we request a MSF to give time to fix our implementation. We have
    had no customer complaints on our cancellation point behaviour on our
    UNIX98 branded implementation. Given the availability of UNIX03 conforming
    systems, we do not believe that a source code incompatibility exists.

    /tset/PTHR.os/cancel/pthread_cancel/T.pthread_cancel 6 Failed

    Test Description:
    For PSE52 test mode:
    Not in use.
    For other test modes:
    A cancellation point shall occur when a thread is executing
    any one of the following functions:
    aio_suspend(), close(), creat(),
    fcntl() (when the cmd argument is F_SETLKW),
    fsync(), mq_receive(), mq_send(), msync(), nanosleep(),
    open(), pause(), pthread_cond_timedwait(),
    pthread_cond_wait(), pthread_join(),
    pthread_testcancel(),
    read(), sem_wait(), sigsuspend(), sigtimedwait(),
    sigwait(),
    sigwaitinfo(), sleep(), system(), tcdrain(), wait(),
    waitpid(), write().

    Test Description:
    For PSE52 and POSIX test modes:
    Not in use.
    For other test modes:

    getmsg(), getpmsg(), lockf(), msgrcv(), msgsnd(),
    poll(), pread(), putmsg(), putpmsg(), pwrite(),
    readv(), select(), sigpause(), usleep(),
    waitid(), writev().
    Note: in UNIX98 mode the wait3() function is also tested.
