In GNU Emacs 18.57.7 of Sun Feb 17 1991 on pit-manager (berkeley-unix)

The function report_file_error in fileio.c contains the following:

  /* System error messages are capitalized.  Downcase the initial. */
  XSTRING (errstring)->data[0] = DOWNCASE (XSTRING (errstring)->data[0]);

It's the downcasing that I'm concerned about.  In particular, that
doesn't quite do the right thing with the string "I/O error", which
appears in our sys_errlist.

I don't quite know what the correct solution is.  Frankly, I'd rather
have all of the errors capitalized (i.e. remove the call to DOWNCASE)
than downcase them all and have some of them look really silly
downcased.  Perhaps there's a better solution, but I suspect it would
involve emacs knowing too much about what's in sys_errlist.

Perhaps we should downcase the whole string?  But that's gross too,
and is bound to be the wrong thing to do in many cases.
