Pretty much all of our accesses to errno are mediated by the following
three functions:
	MLton_errno
	Posix_Error_clearErrno
	Posix_Error_getErrno
So, if you'll let me know the new correct way to get and set errno,
I'll make the change.

A broken errno could explain what Roberto was seeing

	unhandled exception: SysErr Invalid argument

I'm currently downloading phoebe and hope to try it out later today.
