 * NOTE: the "do {" ... "} while (0);" bracketing around the macros

 * were function calls, even in contexts where a trailing ";" would
 * generate a null statement. For example,
 *
 *      if (status != 0)
 *          err_abort (status, "message");
 *      else
 *          return status;
 *
 * will not compile if err_abort is a macro ending with "}", because
 * C does not expect a ";" to follow the "}". Because C does expect
 * a ";" following the ")" in the do...while construct, err_abort and
 * errno_abort can be used as if they were function calls.
