Hah, do you think I remember much of it as a whole any more? But
please do feel free to ask specific question about details.

What error handling changes? You mean saving the errno value from
where the error you want to report happened to where you later check
it? If some C library calls or system calls that might overwrite errno
are done inbetween? Like this:

@@ -918,8 +923,9 @@ _dbus_listen_tcp_socket (const char     *host,

       if (bind (fd, (struct sockaddr*) tmp->ai_addr, tmp->ai_addrlen) < 0)
         {
+          saved_errno = errno;
           _dbus_close(fd, NULL);
-          if (errno == EADDRINUSE)
+          if (saved_errno == EADDRINUSE)
             {
               /* Depending on kernel policy, it may or may not

Or do you mean the removal of the huge case statements that turn error
codes WSAE* or NERR_* into strings? Such code is so unnecessary, the
system already has a mechanism (FormatMessage()) for getting the error
strings for such error codes.

I don't have any such log, sorry.
