For future reference, here's what POSIX has to say. Implementations shall not generate a different error number from one required by this volume of POSIX.1-2008 for an error condition described in this volume of POSIX.1-2008, but may generate additional errors unless explicitly disallowed for a particular function. So ENOMEM would have been allowed from that front. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
