That sounds about right.

FWIW, if you'd like a look at the source of one of the LSB tests that's
failing, see:

http://cvs.gforge.freestandards.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/tests/lsb-runtime-test/modules/vsx-pcts/tset/ANSI.os/streamio/fwrite/fwrite.c?rev=1.1.1.1&contenttype=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=lsb

Look at function "test3", specifically the part after where it reports
"testing assertion using non-blocking pipe".

That appears to be what's happening in most other cases, and also
appears to be what the LSB tests want.
