Sure, will do.  (Is there any documentation for it?)

Ohh.  Ugh.  (Well, we might as well just put a wrapper in lib/ someplace.)

I wonder if we should try to zero errno after we ignore an error, so at
least we'd know when we're reporting bogus values.  Probably too hard to
track down those cases, though, even within our own code.
