707	##sys#file-info needs to signal an error if the fstat syscall goes bad	Christian Kellermann		"I think it is bad style to ignore the errno error signalling mechanism when doing syscalls. Bug #706 shows that this can result in serious mischief.

##sys#file-info is the first culprit that I have identified, but I suspect all runtime calls lack a error propagation mechanism.

Maybe a more general approach on how to do this is needed.
At the time of writing this I am favoring raising exn i/o conditions for the exceptional cases. Also would these calls be reentrant?"	defect	closed	major	4.9.0	core libraries	4.7.x	worksforme
