    Problem Summary POSIX_rte.os/procprim/posix_spawnp/T.posix_spawnp{54} failure due
    to no file created.
    Problem Text This test aims to check the condition of creating a file open action for
    a file in a different directory ("test54/test54_fd1"), where the first
    part of the path ("test54") points to a file instead of directory. In
    this case posix_spawnp() should return ENOTDIR (or 0, and the child
    returns 127).

    However, when we execute the call to posix_spawn() in this testcase, no
    file "test54" has been created (there is no code to create the file in
    the test case), and so instead posix_spawn() returns EBADF (as seen in
    the journal file quoted in the comments).

    As it happens, this test passes on Solaris 10, because on S10 all errors
    are indicated by the child returning 127, so actually it is passing for
    the wrong reason (see Oracle bug 6488832, which changed this behaviour
    in NV).

    Adding a 'create("test54",0666) or similar before the call to
    posix_spawn, causes this test to pass on NV:
