Would a patch that implements support for the attachment

I'll give it a try.
Well, do you think it's a good idea? I can't see anything wrong with
it, but then, I just made it up.
Well, since you ask :-) I'd prefer my first suggestion, just
because it's simpler. No worries about buffer size
limits, and the message being truncated. If passing a message,
I'd have to be careful with what I'd say there, so it
doesn't confuse the user (strerror says one thing, native
error says something similar but not the same, possibly in
different locales). This probably means I'd just pass the error
number anyway.
