Hi,

Thanks for the work.
I think it needs to be completed to have the same behaviour on bsdapp.

Ideally, yes, but I also don't think the lack of BSD changes should
block the inclusion of this set. In terms of application writers, the
apps don't need to be written differently for BSD compared to Linux
because of this change. All that is different is that the BSD version
will panic rather than return the error code.

So you do not have any issue about having a different behaviour on Linux
and BSD?
You are the bsdapp maintainer, so it is your call.

I would infinitely prefer to have the same behavior. However, so long
as this does not require a user to change their app to be different on
BSD, I don't think lack of BSD support should block improving Linux.

Aaron - will you be able to do equivalent changes to BSD within the 17.05 timeframe?

I'm going to spend some time next week looking into it.  If it looks
like it's akin to s/linuxapp/bsdapp/ and everything works, then I'll do
it.  If I get hung up on anything, I'll probably update with my status.
