<paakku> In elinks/src/network/state.h, there is an assumption that values of errno are between 0 and 100000. Now looking at glibc-2.5/sysdeps/mach/hurd/bits/errno.h, I see that you're using values outside this range. Have there been problems because of this?
<youpi> eeerf
<youpi> I had never seen a program assuming that
<youpi> that sucks
<paakku> It can be fixed, but that'd require some work, so I'd like to first have a clear idea of the effects.
<youpi> fixed where ?
<paakku> in elinks
<youpi> k
<paakku> by allocating just one number from our enum connection_state for system errors, and then stashing the errno value in a separate variable.
<paakku> Anyway, if you see this cause any user-visible bugs in ELinks, please report.
