    Specification Shell and Utilities Issue 6
    Location in Spec page 632, line 24571

    STDERR
    The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
    Problem Summary /tset/POSIX.upe/man/man.ex:18 FAILs in SUSv3 and it should not.
    Problem Text Solaris man writes out the diagnostic message if there is no preformated
    man page after clean install. The command succeeds. Standard doesn't
    seem to disallow that.

    It was allowed to informational messages to be written to stderr in
    SUSv4. SUSv3 required that it only be used for diagnostic messages.

    We would like to keep the number of steps making the Solaris system Unix
    conforming minimal so I am kindly asking for PIN on this case.
    Test Output Assertion #18 (C): GA40: no standard error is written on success
    Standard error isn't empty
    Contents of out.stderr:
    Reformatting page. Please Wait... done

    Review Recommendation Permanent Interpretation (PIN)
    Review Response This was submitted as a TSD but it is clear from the problem text that
    the submitter is actually requesting a PIN.

    The SUSv3 requirement does not match existing practice and this has been
    corrected in SUSv4. Therefore a PIN is recommended.
