I didn't realize that space was there until he just posted it --- that I
could have fixed easily.

The major holding point is that SCO is going to require we specify each
*_r function required for threading.  SCO doesn't have strerror_r, but
needs the others.  That is going to be three functions call options to
be defined per platform we support.  I need to know the cleanest way of
attacking that, so I don't break more platforms.
