getdelim(3) returns -1 at the end of the file and if it encounters an

calling it to avoid misdiagnosing an out-of-memory condition due to a
left-over value from some other function call.

Do we need to save and restore the original value of errno? I doubt it,
but didn't think deeply about it, yet.
