Build Identifier:

During a complex join between two tables that involve an OR operation, I received the following error message:

!OS: The printer is out of paper.

This corresponds to error number 28 in Windows OS, yet in errno.h, 28 is for ENOSPC, which is the expected one.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

My quick fix was to return the error code unchanged in winerror function (mutils.c). But I can't be sure that this doesn't mess up with some other cases.

For complete details, see https//devmonetdborg/hg/MonetDB?cmd=changeset;node=b3190f961601

Try not to confuse Windows and Unix error numbers.
Use GDKsyserror exclusively for errno-based errors, and introduce
GDKwinerror for errors obtained with GetLastError().
This should fix bug #6779.
