    Test Output
    ************************************************************************
    /tset/MSE.os/streamio/perror/T.perror 1 Failed

    Test Description:
    For UNIX98 mode:
    When the stream does not have a current stream orientation,
    then a successful call to perror() does not set the orientation
    of the standard error stream.

    For other test modes:
    When the stream does not have a current stream orientation,
    then a successful call to perror() sets the orientation of the
    standard error stream to byte orientation.

    Test Strategy:
    OPEN a file using freopen(file, "w", stderr)
    WRITE to the file using perror()
    VERIFY that fwide() returns the expected value

    Test Information:
    perror() did not set stream to byte orientation:
    fwide(stderr, 0) returned 0, expected < 0

    Review Recommendation Temporary Interpretation (TIN)
    Review Response Austin Group defect report XSH ERN 95 is currently still open, as this
    issue is being pursued by the Austin Group via a defect report against
    ISO C99 TC2. Therefore a TIN should be issued rather than a PIN.

    Review Resolution Temporary Interpretation (TIN)
    Review Conclusion This issue is under investigation by the working group. A temporary
    interpretation is thus granted.

    Update Sept 2009: The conflict with C99 has been resolved with the
    publication of C99 TC3, therefore this PR has been converted from a TIN
    to a TSD.
