Package: manpages-dev
Version: 2.02-2
Severity: normal

  strerror(3) claims that strerror_r returns an integer that is zero for 
success and non-zero for failure; in fact, it returns a char * and the code 
appears to say that there is no way to distinguish success and failure; if 
the buffer is too small the string is just truncated.
