IMO, the current behavior is the least problematic. It also mirrors the
rest of Python's posix-wrapping calls: if something usable is returned,
use it; if NULL is returned, raise an error.

For most people, "Unknown error XXX" or "Value error: strerror()
argument out of range" won't be much different in terms of user experience.

Rejecting this patch.
