> First I think we need a consensus as to what is in error.

Right, but the testcase source is the means by which we describe what
the "correct" behavior (meaning error cases and successes) is.  It
also allows us to test our assumptions on various platforms and see
what our baseline is.

Once we have a testcase that describes how we think the function
should operate, we can then proceed to changing the function so that
the testcase passes.

In other words, we're going to have this conversation in C instead of
English ;-)
