ERR_remove_state() is one of those functions that already have a manual
page:
ERR_remove_state - free a thread's error queue
[...]
void ERR_remove_state(unsigned long pid);
[...]
ERR_remove_state() frees the error queue associated with thread pid.
If pid == 0, the current thread will have its error queue removed.
Since error queue data structures are allocated automatically for new
threads, they must be freed when threads are terminated in order to
avoid memory leaks.
