>Description:

errno.h defines errors up to 86 but errlst.c stops at 79. Consequently
strerror(3) can return messages like:

Unknown error: 85

rather than:

Operation Cancelled

This is usually seen when a program dies by calling err(3)

>How-To-Repeat:

The simple:

#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
	printf("%s\n",strerror(ECANCELED));

	return(0);
}

Or the (slightly) more useful:

#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sysexits.h>

void usage() {
	fprintf(stderr, "usage: strerror max_errno\n");
	exit(EX_USAGE);
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
	int i;

	if (argc != 2) {
		usage();
	}

	for (i = 0; i <= atol(argv[argc - 1]); ++i) {
		printf("%d: %s\n", i, strerror(i));
	}

	return(EX_OK);
}
