tcsetattr test and implementation

[Matt Taggart <taggart@debian.org>]

Hi lsb-test,

Debian is working on a solution for some test suite failures regarding the 
POSIX tcgetattr tests. This work is documented at,

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=218131

Jeff Licquia noticed that the test suite is not properly testing all aspects 
of tcgetattr behavior and in particular is missing a test that the current 
patch that some distros are using fails to solve. Jeff has created a patch 
that properly solves all cases, even the one not being tested for.

I'm not sure if failure to test something is a TSD, but it at least means that 
the coverage is not as good as it should be. Can the lsb-test team add a test 
for this?

I think other runtime implementors will want to compare Jeff's patch against 
their own. Help building consensus around the proper fix and getting it 
integrated upstream if approprate would be appreciated.

Thanks,
