Hi Cragi,

Thanks for taking the time!

Could you include me on any replies? I'm not subscribed.

"Math argument" is the existing message. There's a comment in errno.h
though, that is meant to match the message proper, and currently does
not. That's what's addressed here.

However, if you'd like me to change it to "Mathematics argument out of
domain of function", happy to do so (I certainly like that better...).

Righto, I'll send a PATCH-v2 when we've got the EDOM bit sorted.

In my previous message, I also missed that the patch adds ENETRESET,
"Connection aborted by network".
