Many versions ago before I put in a per thread errno I wrote the code to
return the negative of the error value. This was about the same time when
the POSIX thread committee was making all the pthread routines also
return the negative of the error value. (Around draft 6 or 7)

Thanks for the diffs. They'll be in the next beta.
