Sorry. Wasn't clear. The PIOCTL macros are (to me) the correct way of doing something.
-6 and -3 are magic numbers. They have no context as to what they might be.
Eep, I misread it, you were clear. That was just debugging I left in. Have we defined the standard way for error reporting in Parrot. At one time we had talked of having an errno for each interpreter? Maybe now is the time to standardize it.
