 * The strerror() messages are copied because:
 *
 * 1) strerror() and strerror_r() functions are not Async-Signal-Safe,
 *    therefore, they cannot be used in signal handlers;
 *
 * 2) a direct sys_errlist[] array may be used instead of these functions,
 *    but Linux linker warns about its usage:
 *
 * warning: `sys_errlist' is deprecated; use `strerror' or `strerror_r' instead
 * warning: `sys_nerr' is deprecated; use `strerror' or `strerror_r' instead
 *
 *    causing false bug reports.
