Defect report from : Joanna Farley , Sun Microsystems

@ page 1468 line 45402 section sysconf objection {sunw-jf03-jf1}
Problem:
Defect code : 1. Error
_POSIX2_C_VERSION was removed by P1003.1a/P1003.2b and should
disappear completely aligning with XBD6, Page 414, Line 14743.
It cannot be required to be understood by sysconf() with no
definition of what it means.
It was used to specify the version of the C functions defined in
POSIX.2-1992. There are no C functions specified in the XCU volume
of SUSv3. We believe the following should have been deleted as part
of the merge of P1003.1a and P1003.2b into the AGR:
XBD6, Page 407, Line 14405
XSH6, Page 1468, Line 45390
XSH6, Page 1469, Lines 45452-45459
Had POSIX.1a and POSIX.2b completed independently of the revision, it
could have been argued that this value could have identified that the
POSIX.2 functions were now available in POSIX.1, but an updated value
of POSIX_VERSION corresonding to the approval of P1003.1a would have
done exactly the same thing.
Action:
Remove the following lines:
XBD6, Page 407, Line 14405
XSH6, Page 1468, Line 45390
XSH6, Page 1469, Lines 45452-45459
