Thanks for the patch but I wasn't looking for a simple patch to do this.
I said I'd make the change if someone could suggest a better errno.
When I suggested a patch, it was to somehow change the way Cygwin
reported errors so that Windows errors could be exposed to programs that
aren't expecting them. I was willing to look at an implementation if
someone was going to take the time to add the non-trivial amount of code
this would take.

No thanks.

That really doesn't prove anything.
