Can some expert please explain me this _system_ error message? I see
the same problems with vgetty and in that case read returns a value
<0, but errno is set to a value, that is reported as Success. I don't
understand this. I thought, that a result of read with value <0
means an error and errno is set apropriate? Am I missing something?

Bye,
Marc
