strerror(0) misbehavior.  Hmm, while FreeBSD was setting EINVAL to make
the failure explicit, MacOS is claiming success while still outputting
"Unknown error: 0".  I'll fix that with a strstr() test in the .m4 files.

Buffer clobbering; given that I just fixed that in cygwin, it shouldn't
be too much harder to fix for MacOS.
