But the problems of strerror and gai_strerror not being re-entrant still
apply, although the chances of hitting those races is significantly smaller
than with brlapi-strerror, maybe.
So Iassume, that the re-entrant version of brlapi_strerror needs to be behind
some feature gate, or be re-entrant only on some systems.
One another question:
To what names does BRLAPI_MAXNAMELENGTH refer to? Anythign returned by BrlAPI
that can be considered to be a name? (Key name, command name, driver name,
model name, etc.)
