     * discovered in glibc 2.1.1-6 as shipped by Redhat 6). What I can't
     * explain, is that tests performed on glibc 2.2.4-34 and 2.2.4-32
     * (shipped/upgraded by Redhat 7.2) don't show this behavior!
     *
     * In this "buggy" version, the return code is -1 on error and 'errno'
     * is set to the ERANGE or EAGAIN code. Note that 'errno' is not a
     * thread-safe variable.
