Re: vsx-pcts tests for binary test suite
The alternative is just to leave the tmpfile one as is, and create a list
of tests that can be waivered for LSB certification. This way folks can
be alerted to the differences between Linux and POSIX. Its possible POSIX
might change its behavior. It also becomes part of the documentation
of the known differences to the standard you mention below.
For the pseudo tty tests we did find another parameter setting that
helped many of these to pass.
