I think so. During additional discussion on the vmsperl mailing list:
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.vmsperl/2001/11/msg9575.html
the OP did not respond to queries, and others with comparable platform
and configuration could not reproduce the problem. Plus the code
where the failure occurred has seen extensive rework since then and
will now set errno and return rather than croaking on the "no such
device" error:
