Hi Mark,

thanks for looking at this. Please see my comments inline.

You are right, thanks. I should check for null and return "OutOfMemory" 
appropriately. I fixed that and updated the webrev in place.

Well, in the case of NET_ThrowUnknownHostExceptionWithGaiError you will 
probably have the hostname as well as the error text encoded in platform 
encoding. So for that it is perfectly fine to do the native buffers first and 
then convert to a Java String. But in my case for 
JNU_ThrowByNameWithMessageAndLastError, the errno text will be in platform 
encoding but the other message and formatting will be UTF-8 strings from the 
executable. So I have to handle both parts differently when creating a String 
object out of it. Or am I wrong in my assumption here?

I do, don't I? I'm checking the return value of getLastErrorString: "if (n > 
0)".

Best regards
Christoph
