Given that sshfs's errno return is "wildly wrong", is there a
release-critical bug filed about this somewhere too? Possibly on glibc,
which I think is responsible for ensuring that the errno values returned
from its userspace functions are compliant, even when the kernel's return
values need to be mapped?
