The bug will manifest as a lack of detailed error messages (because it
will think strerror is returning NULL most of the time).  But on the
off-chance that 128 bytes isn't long enough for the error message, it
means that electric-fence will try to print from a bogus address like 32
(errno value).

Because this package is only used for testing, I'm OK with the bug
existing.  But it is clearly a bug.  I've filed bug 1313905 for follow-
up.

In the meantime, approved.
