Hmm. According to gettext(3):

  ERRORS
         errno is not modified.

And googling for "gettext" and "errno" reveals several bugfixes in GNU
gettext to make sure that gettext preserves errno. I wonder if there are
systems where that is not the case, though; I don't know what non-GNU
gettext implementations are in common use these days. I'd still be
curious to hear what platform the server is for this bug report.

Yes, I am also curious.

Regardless, we may need your "save_errno" patch if the bulk of it
may have to be made conditional on NEED_SAVE_ERRNO_IN_GETTEXT=YesPlease
or something.

Thanks for digging.
