While not wanting to run down what Chris Torek has done, or discourage
people from using it (*any* serious effort to do good error-handling is
a win over most existing Unix programs!), it is most unfortunate that
it uses the same name as the error() routine in Kernighan&Pike, but with
a different and incompatible calling sequence and semantics.
