Description Jilles Tjoelker freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2004-10-12 14:40:14 UTC
According to man strerror_r, strerror_r() does not change the buffer in case of
an invalid error number. Actually, it does, and this functionality is being
used, for example in the patch in PR standards/72394. It seems more useful.

Fix: patch included
How-To-Repeat: man strerror_r
