Problem with the patch seems to be in the evaluation of the parameters
pushed onto the stack before the call. It seems that at least in my gcc
implementation, the value of errno gets changed before being printed out,
but the strerror() call reports the right textual error.
Suggest that you change the patch as follows:
.
.
.
int errx; /* error numb holder */
.
.
.
errx=errno;
log_err("(%d)%s: exec failed (%s)\n", errx, strerror(errx), cmd);
