And, I forget the exact rules, but I think most are allowed to trash
it even if they succeed.  I just remember that errno needs to be saved
across libc calls, if the value is important.

In practice, for example, the first fprintf on a particular FILE* can
end up setting errno to ENOTTY as the libc calls isatty() to decide on
the buffering mode.
