I'm migrating from digitemp and with digitemp if I was getting errors with
my serial or USB adapter or bus, I got clear errors from the program.

With owfs, I didn't find a clear explanation of what happens if I'm trying
to read a temperature from the virtual filesystem, and:

- bus is too long/unstable and the read yields a CRC error

- the 1 wire bus gets unplugged from the interface, so all devices disappear

- the USB interface (DS2490) locks up

- the serial interface (DS9097U) has some other kind of error

I realize that something will likely end up in the logs for this, but what
happens to my read system call on the temperature file in the 4 different
cases listed above?

Thanks,
Marc
