Message-ID: <7A25937D23A1E64C8E93CB4A50509C2A0310EFAA@stca204a.bus.sc.rolm.com> (raw)

I try to open a non-existan device driver node file. The Kernel returns a
value of -1 (expected). However, when I read the value of errno it contains
a value of 29. A call to the perror functrion does print out the correct
error message (a value of 2). Why does this happen?
