/*
 * Manuel Novoa III       Dec 2000
 *
 * Converted to use my new (un)signed long (long) to string routines, which
 * are smaller than the previous functions and don't require static buffers.
 * Removed dependence on strcat in the process.
 *
 * Also appended a test routine ( -DSTRERROR_TEST ) to allow a quick check
 * on the buffer length when the sys_errorlist is modified.
