Being "really paranoid" consistently within the file would mean a
change like the attached, I would think, on top of what was posted.

Or tr2_dst_want_warning() and tr2_sysenv_display_name() can be
taught to preserve errno like tr2_dst_dry_uds_connect() was taught
to do so by the patch under discussion, which may reduce the amount
of apparent change, but constantly moving the contents of errno
around just in case we later might want to use its value feels
dirty.

I dunno.
