It wasn't the 'wrong' errno, so much as a different errno than Linux
used in the same situation, and a bug that still exists in CVS for
blindly assuming that only the Linux errno will be used even on
non-Linux platforms.  POSIX allows any number of errno
returns when more than one simultaneous error condition exists.
