So concretely, the patch below works for me (my tests are not failing,
but with some instrumenting, I see that the case in question is exiting
with code 25 before this patch, and 255 after. So it really is just that
my errno values are lower than yours).

It's ugly, and I kind of wonder if we'd want to do it for every script
to get consistent exit codes. But it does work.
