    Problem Summary POSIX_rte.os/procprim/posix_spawn/T.posix_spawn test 55 fails due to not
    reporting EBADF when closing an already closed fd
    Problem Text The current test does not reflect the change documented in Austin Group
    Defect 370:
    0000370: addclose should not cause posix_spawn to fail if closing an
    already closed fd
    which clarifies that closing an already closed fd should not result in
    EBADF. While that change is implemented in Issue 7, it would appear
    clear that reporting EBADF due to closing an already closed fd was not
    the intent and is not the desired action going forward.
    Test Output **************************************************************************************
    /tset/POSIX_rte.os/procprim/posix_spawn/T.posix_spawn 55
    Failed

    Test Description:
    If the symbol {_POSIX_SPAWN} is defined or the imple-
    mentation supports the posix_spawn(pid, path,
    file_actions, attrp, argv[], envp[]) function:
    When file_actions contains an close action and
    fildes is not a valid file descriptor, then
    posix_spawn(pid, path, file_actions, attrp, argv[],
    envp[]) returns EBADF or posix_spawn(pid, path,
    file_actions, attrp, argv[], envp[]) returns zero
    and the child process exits with an exit status of
    127.

    Test Strategy:
    Error: requested file not found in archive
    /export/test/TET3.6/vsx/MAN/tset/POSIX_rte.os/procprim/posix_spawn/L.posix_spawn_s

    Test Information:
    posix_spawn returned 0 err 9 EBADF and child return 0

    Review Recommendation Rejected (REJ)
    Review Response Austin Group Defect 370 is currently just a proposed change to be made
    in the next revision of the standard. In this form, it will not have
    any effect on the requirements of the standard until that revision
    (Issue 8) is approved.

    If implementors wish to be able to make this change to their systems
    before Issue 8 is approved, they should ask the Austin Group to reopen
    defect 370 and process it as an interpretation with a response
    containing the key phrase "concerns have been raised about this which
    are being referred to the sponsor".
