If the fclose(fp) failed, the errno from that failure (i.e. why fp
cannot be closed) would be reported by the error_errno(), which may
not be ideal.  Either use just error() (which may be suboptimal),
follow an often-used pattern to use save_errno (grep for the symbol
to learn from the existing code) and keep using error_errno(), or
check errors from fclose() too (which may be overkill).

	if (res < 0) {
		int saved_errno = errno;
#if OVERKILL
		if (fclose(fp))
                	error_errno(_("..."));
#else
		fclose(fp);
#endif
		errno = saved_errno;
		return error_errno(_("..."), ...);
	}
