`J.T. Conklin' changed the state to `closed'.
State-Changed-From-To: open-closed
State-Changed-By: jtc
State-Changed-When: Wed Mar 1 00:14:55 1995
State-Changed-Why:
This is not a bug (at least not in the code).
XPG3 limits the error conditions so that -1 is only returned in out of
memory (ENOMEM) conditions. 0 is returned for all other errors.
catgets "knows" that nl_catd 0 is special, and returns the default message.
catclose "knows" not to close nl_catd 0.
