/* Test if cancellation of getpwuid_r incorrectly leaves internal
   function state locked resulting in hang of subsequent calls to
   getpwuid_r.  The main thread creates a second thread which will do
   the calls to getpwuid_r.  A semaphore is used by the second thread to
   signal to the main thread that it is as close as it can be to the
   call site of getpwuid_r.  The goal of the semaphore is to avoid any
   cancellable function calls between the sem_post and the call to
   getpwuid_r.  The main thread then attempts to cancel the second
   thread.  Without the fixes the cancellation happens at any number of
   calls to cancellable functions in getpuid_r, but with the fix the
   cancellation either does not happen or happens only at expected
   points where the internal state is consistent.  We use an explicit
   pthread_testcancel call to terminate the loop in a timely fashion
   if the implementation does not have a cancellation point.  */
