Defect Report Processing
-------------------------
The group picked up on the latest batch of defect reports,
which are available at the following URL:
http://www.opengroup.org/austin/aardvark/latest/

XCU ERN 18 mailx and the effects of LC_TIME  OPEN

The review group felt that the wording could be clarified
and that this should be submitted down the interpretations
track. It was agreed that some more research was needed
as to the precise affects of the LC_TIME variable and that this
item be left open until the next meeting.


XCU ERN 19  pax header fields and utf-8 OPEN

Don Cragun has volunteered to take an action to come
back with a proposal for a new header keyword to allow
a binary encoding.

XCU ERN 20 , mailx  next command following a hold  OPEN

The review group agreed that some more investigations were
needed and left this item open for a future call.

XBD ERN 7, OPEN

This item was left open for a future call.


XBD ERN 8 , the prototype for aio_suspend should have restrict 
as per lio_listio Accept as marked below:

The review  group noted that previously an issue was raised on
lio_listio() (ERN finaltext/117) and that spawned a C defect report.
The suggested change in this rdvk is not allowed by the current C
standard, but it was agreed that it should be done once the C standard
is changed to allow it to happen.

Andrew took an action to add this rdvk item to SD/5
and this item has to be tied to the change in the
C standard - the current C DR reference is 289.



Next Steps
-----------
Andrew  will update the aardvark reports with the latest inbound
defect reports.

We still need to discuss what the strategy is post TC2.

There are a number of open action items outstanding:
1. Don Cragun Pathname Resolution proposal
2. Larry Dwyer system() and threads
3. Joerg Schilling wording for XCU ERN 1 pax
4. Don Cragun to draft proposal for XCU ERN  19
5. Mark Brown to do further investigation for XCU ERN 18.

The next teleconference call is scheduled for April 22 2004
