P.S. I never said that, and it's manifestly not true. Given that
Richard apparently doesn't know the first thing about whether the SUS
is an API or ABI specification (i.e., whether or not errno numeric
values matter), it's clear he's not an egg-headed paper pusher. :-)
I'm just trying to convince him not to get seduced into the dark side
of the standards world. :-)
