Ah, I see.  They changed the story in the past year and broke strictly
conforming POSIX.1-1996 applications.  So what you are saying is that we
need to have stdio behave differently depending on the _POSIX_C_SOURCE
value defined by the user to both be compatible with strictly conforming
POSIX.1-1996 applications, and to have different behavior that is
sufficient for strictly conforming POSIX.1-2001 applications.
