GDB error 87 under Cygwin

Where in the world in the Errors.h file that enumerates the error codes
coming from GDB?  In particular, I am interested in error 87, as
shown below:

BLACKBOX> gdb
h-hcube

This GDB was configured as "i586-cygwin32"...(no debugging
symbols found)...
(gdb) r
Starting program: //e/h-hcube.exe 
Error creating process //e/h-hcube.exe, (error 87)

I'm sure the answer to this question is somewhere on the Cygnus and/or
GDB mailing archive, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get
the wonderfully worthless ht://Dig search engine to accept phrase or
boolean searches with any accuracy.  It has got to be one of the
most frustrating search engine software packages I have ever used. 
For example, try the following:


On the Cygwin Project archive, a search for "error 87" set
to match all terms or a boolean search for "error and 87" both
give 5474 matches.
On the same archive, a search for "error" gives (yes, I'm
sure you can guess) the same 5474 matches!
But on the same archive, a search for "error 193" set to
match all terms only gives 21 hits.


What gives?  A search though many of the "error 87"
hits confirms that the string 87 is nowhere in the text or source of the
html page.

Someone tell me how to do a reliable phrase search of the mail
archives.
