misleading error report message

Hi, Dear maintainers

I found a misleading error report message this line, refer [1],  It may report error like:

"...: /home/user1/.terminfo: permission denied (errno 122)",  while 122 means "disk full".

maybe it is better not hardcode the error string,  but use something like strerror(errno).
