Thanks, these have now been eliminated. The basic rule is,
anywhere you see 'sys_errlist[errno]' it can and should be
replaced with 'strerror(errno)'. sys_errlist[] was made obsolete
_years_ ago and prevented us from doing some very cool things we
wanted to do. So Manuel and I discussed and and decided to drop
sys_errlist[] support entirely.
