qmail assumes that errno is a standard integer variable, as it was
from the mid-seventies until within the last few years.
Recent versions of the GNU C library changed errno from a standard
integer to a macro, probably to make it work properly with threads.
Since they disagree, they don't work together properly. A patch is
readily available for qmail that causes it to use errno properly, and
that fixes the problem.
I'm sure there's tons more details in the archives.
