No.  I think you're assuming here that perror() will exit the program if
there is an error.  But it will continue.  That was why assert() was used.

#include 
#include 

int main(void)
{
    perror("Hello");
    puts("Fell through!");
    return 0;
}

17:23 voodoo [e:\devel\csource\perror]perror.exe
Hello: Error 0
Fell through!

Now, how do I get _locking() to work in MingW32?!
