Terry Lambert once stated:

=> If, however, you don't like our malloc's current implementation, and
=> think that errno should be saved and restored across a successful
=> call, and that the lost cycles would be worthwhile, then diffs would
=> be perfectly welcome, I'm sure.

Please, excuse the raising of my tail and entering into this
discussion, but at least the subject deserves changing. It would
appear, several people pointed out that there is no "bogus errno
twiddling by lstat".  And the original poster _implicitly_ acknowledged
that and the thread is now discussing something totally different.
We are yet to see an _explicit_ acknowledgment, though...

Sorry for throwing this, but this sort of subject really will look
bad in the archives of my favorite OS, something it does not deserve,
at least in this case. "Oh yeah, see, they had problems in their
lstat-implementation back in 1998".
