The last one is a message of mine. Programs examining errno are seeing
the wrong values. Recompiling those programs in an attempt to avoid old
hardcoded numbers fail to link with a missing errno symbol.
Downgrading from -6 to -5 restores normal behavior.
(Apologies if I've dorked something filing this; I usually do something
stupid when working with the BTS.)
