But that's not what it says. As I mentioned earlier, there are six or
eight environmental things that can cause initialization to fail, and
what the customer has to do to fix them isn't all the same thing.

LE (among others) is notorious for catching an error and turning it
into something else that gives less information. If they insist on
abending, they should at least show the orginal errno and errno2
(identifying them as such, of course), even if they are unable or
unwilling to show the text for them.

As for what you can do about this - the obvious thing is to run a
little program before the LE-enabled thing that checks out the
environment and either issues nice messages or if all is well passes
control to the LE part. It could be as simple as a separate job step.
