Subject: 1.5.5.1 fgetc returns no error for bad file descriptor

Hi All,
    The 9th assertion of fgetc in "IEEE std 2003.1-1992 Test Methods for
Measuring Conformance to Posix-Part1 System Interface" document states:
    When the stream pointer argument addresses a file descriptor that
is not open for reading, then a call to fgetc()returns a value of 
EOF and sets errno to [EBADF].
The current implementation does not set any errno. It says "No error". 

Regards,
ghanshyam
