That's what I thought.

My overall comment:  

Although I also would like PWR support added, I would prefer if
everybody stopped mocking around with the old GEMDOS error codes.

MiNT is first and foremost a GEMDOS enhancement, not a full OS,
so it ought to retain expected, documented GEMDOS features.

<DOH ON> Already, the incorrect error codes in 1.15.4b kernel are
a problem, because you cannot expect 15 years of features to be
trashed completely, based on new ideas. Answering that "old apps
will have to be patched and recompiled" is a lame cop-out for not
respecting official documented API's. </RANT OFF>
