    Problem Summary Array overrun in /tset/PTHR.os/cfuncs/Mputc_unlocked/T.putc_unlocked
    Problem Text During the course of debugging the above error, it was discovered that the output of
    putc_unlocked was being written to file descriptor zero (stdout) instead of the intended pipe.
    When the tests execute putchar_unlocked_exectests, the write-end of the pipe should be
    passed as the ninth command line argument, but instead the empty string ("") is passed.
    This empty string is interpreted by putchar_unlocked_exectests as zero, resulting in the
    output going to standard output.

    From vsth/tset/PTHR.os/cfuncs/putchar_unlocked/putchar_unlocked.c:
    1. void
    2. t2_c1()
    3. {
    4. char *argv[4];
    5. char ascii_fd0[20];
    6. char ascii_fd1[20];
    7.
    8. argv[0] = execpath(TE_PATH);
    9. argv[1] = "1";
    10. argv[2] = strcpy(ascii_fd0, itoa(T2_fd[0]));
    11. argv[3] = strcpy(ascii_fd1, itoa(T2_fd[1]));
    12. argv[4] = NULL;
    13.
    14. (void) tet_exec(execpath(TE_PATH), argv, environ);
    15.
    16. exit(1);
    17. }

    Note that 'argv' is declared as an array of four elements (line 4), but five elements are written
    to it (line 12). On the Intel architecture, with GNU C compiler 4.2.1, this results in an empty
    string instead of the contents of ascii_fd1.
    Test Output ************************************************************************
    /tset/PTHR.os/cfuncs/Mputc_unlocked/T.putc_unlocked 2 Unresolved

    Test Description:
    If the _POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS option is supported:
    when the file referenced by stream does not support
    positioning requests or the stream was opened in append mode,
    then a call to putc_unlocked(c, stream) appends the character
    specified by c, converted to an unsigned char, to the output
    stream referenced by stream and returns c if successful.

    ANSI/ISO 9899-1990 7.9.7.8-2(C)

    Test Information:
    read unexpectedly failed, expected 38, got -1
