What I'd suggest doing is simply calling it errors_count, and
returning s_error_count.  While we're at it, we could also return
s_first_error_time and s_last_error_time as well, since I imagine
those would could be quite useful for someone trying to create a
system health monitoring daemon.

Cheers,
