The application has already _decided_ to crash by using invalid code.
No... glibc made the decision... without give the app any warning

If the code is invalid, how can you expect the application currently has
error handling that _correctly_ handles the case of invalid open ()
invocation?  There is no EBACKTOSCHOOL in <errno.h>.
Its not glibc's place (or anybody else) to make such judgments
on the ability of the application or the developer...
