Until the honest-to-God-real-official list from the errno contest
gets posted by someone, maybe these will suffice...  these are a
few I copied down and most of the ones mentioned during the "awards
presentation" for the contest.

EWALDHEIM		selective memory erasure
ENO_ARMS_CONTROL	silo overflow
EECUMMINGS		case translation failed
EGODOT			endless wait
EWATERGATE		extended tape gap
ECRAY			program exit before being run
EUID			missing period
EBSD			your tape will be shipped real soon now, we promise
ENO_DICE		error in rand()
EFLAT			file system needs tuning
EBEFOREI		invalid syntax
EDINGDONG		the daemon is dead
EEMILYPOST		wrong fork
ENOT_ON_HORSE		mount failed

and of course...

EMR_ED

A host is a host
and coast to coast
nobody talks to a host that's close
unless the host that isn't close
is busy, hung, or dead.
