Thanks!

I will wait until glibc adds this error code to their <errno.h> before
applying the patch.  This means either you should write and send a patch
to glibc (if so, please CC me), or you should ask them to add it
themselves (if you're not comfortable writing glibc code).


Have a lovely day!
Alex
