New Revision: 220376
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/220376

Log:
  Allow strerror(0) and strerror_r(0, ...).
  
  Of course, strerror_r() may still fail with ERANGE.
  
  Although the POSIX specification said this could fail with EINVAL and
  doing this likely indicates invalid use of errno, most other
  implementations permitted it, various POSIX testsuites require it to
  work (matching the older sys_errlist array) and apparently some
  applications depend on it.
