The fix I put in at Cygnus was to arrange it such that kcmd returns -1
iff it has already printed the error message, and the caller prints an
error message only if the error code is not -1. (In some cases the
message can't be returned as a simple number.) This required minor
changes both in kcmd and at the call site. This'll get into the MIT
tree next time I've got time to merge the appl/bsd code....
