My manual says:
The strerror() function returns a pointer to the language-dependent error
message string affiliated with an error number.
with a SEE ALSO to setlocale(). I guess something like:
error ("Cannot perform exponentiation: %s", strerror (errno));
is ok, but:
error ("%s on target_read", safe_strerror (err));
is really bad.

(Hmm, I like the swapping between strerror and save_strerror ...)
