    Yep, but if the error truly was related to the description provided
    for ENOPKG then it would occur every time instead of very rarely.
    Also, the man page for open() does not list ENOPKG as one of the
    documented error scenarios.

    It appears that some code being called within the open()
    implementation on Open Server can result in an error 65. I was hoping
    someone else had experienced the problem and knows what it is, or has
    access to source code which indicates what scenario such an error code
    could be returned in.
