According to Olivier Langlois on 8/15/2007 11:21 AM:
> You're right. This is not a bug. In my mind, non-negative meant positive but note that both glibc and MSCRT return a positive number to indicate success.

But BSD returns 0, and newlib borrowed from the BSD code base.  The world
isn't glibc and Windows.  For this case, newlib is already compliant, so
there is no need to change it; but if you really want, submit a patch that
makes it behave like glibc, and we will review it.
