That fix assumes that acl_free preserves errno, but normally I
wouldn't expect random library calls to preserve errno.
<http://linux.die.net/man/3/acl_free> doesn't claim that it does
preserve errno.
The code in acl.c that supports POSIX 1003.1e (draft 17 -- abandoned)
is pretty crufty overall; there's a lot of code duplication. However,
I don't have easy access to a machine that has that kind of ACL so I
haven't tried to clean it up.
