Test Identification POSIX.os/procenv/times/T.times.3,5 (dependent on 3)
Problem Summary /tset/POSIX.os/procenv/times/T.time results inconsistent
Problem Text The test in question is influenced by its' order in the test list and
by whether it is run standalone or in a list. Seems to indicate that
the test was tweaked for one board and running on another with
significantly better performance causes the test to complete it's delay
loop more quickly than expected. Result is that time appears to be 0.
If the test is run at just the right time, it passes. Data from a
series of runs is attached. Includes standalone, before another test
and after another test.

Review Recommendation Test Suite Deficiency (TSD)
Review Response A test suite deficiency is recommended. The tests use
the routine use_time() from userintf.c. In later
revisions we have adjusted the values to cause a longer delay
on faster processors.
