    Test Identification POSIX.cmd/xargs 1004
    Specification Shell and Utilities Issue 6
    Problem Summary test not updated for UNIX03
    Problem Text The treatment of logical EOF when xargs is used without specifying a
    logical EOF string was changed between SUSv2 and SUSv3, but the
    corresponding test has not been updated in UNIX03 mode. SUSv3 says:

    "If -E is not specified, it is unspecified whether the logical
    end-of-file string is the underscore character ('_') or the end-of-file
    string capability is disabled."

    However, the test still expects an underscore to be treated as logical EOF.
    Test Output ***********************************************************************
    /tset/POSIX.cmd/xargs/xargs.ex 1004 Failed
    Test Information:
    Assertion #1004 (A): xargs without -e or -E uses underscore as
    logical EOF
    Results file does not match expected results file.
    *ERROR - Unexpected output file contents
    *ERROR - stdout: line1 _ line3
