It doesn't handle ESRCH for sure... Current solution seems to expect it is changed earlier to ENETUNREACH. It looks reasonable because otherwise all other places checking for this should be updated too. But, IMHO, it could be tested if such a change here helps in current problem, and then maybe found where it was skipped? On the other hand, probably checking with grep for all such ENETUNREACH cases, and adding ESRCH where needed could be much simpler and safer...
