I thought about that for a moment, but did not come up with a good error
code.. ;-)  EBUSY is not a good option here since that could be used by
applications to decide that they should try again (which would not help
here at all). If someone has a better one in mind, I would have no
problems changing this, but I don't see much problems with EOPNOTSUPP
either.
