This is going to increase the number of "false positives" with Coverity (err* with fopened FILE*), but the change LGTM.

Thank you for fixing this BTW :)..

I'm not sure exactly what you mean here, can you clarify?

I'll have to go back and look. IIRC, err* wasn't instrumented properly with Coverity and file descriptors and items after the call were marked as false positives.

Change in D8176 committed instead.
