| Without the file or directory name, it's harder
| to determine which file system is in question.
But that doesn't answer my question. error(SORT_FAILURE,...) will call
exit(SORT_FAILURE) on your behalf, since SORT_FAILURE is non-zero. In
other words, why not let error() do the exiting, for less code on your side?
