I am going to upload some patches that fix this. ECL will signal FILE-ERROR
and STREAM-ERROR conditions when stream operations fail due to the C
library. Unfortunately the error hierarchy is already polluted enough and
rather incestuous and adding more loops with C error conditions, errno and
strerrno fields looks like an overkill to me. Until somebody cleans this up
(CDR anyone?) this should do, but please feel free to comment.
