Nice try guys. But what about errno's which are defined by expressions?
For instance, on a certain UNIX flavour you find things like:
#define TCPERR 66
#define EALREADY (TCPERR+6) /* Operation already in progress
*/
(Note to SCO lawyers: the above have been subtly altered
to avoid any reckless Linux kernel hackers stealing your proprietary IP.).
I know, this is the iLug, but there are no guarantees about what
these constants will look like in future...

P.S. Kevin - why do you assume errno stops at 127 ?
