Changing jnr-posix to use errno() value unconditionally has created lots of 
failures in windows
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JRUBY-6136
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-6136
             Project: JRuby
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: JRuby 1.7
            Reporter: Thomas E Enebo
            Assignee: Thomas E Enebo


It makes sense to use the errnos() returned by the underlying OS...However on 
windows we get several mysterious errors.  For example we get back errno 3 
(ESRCH) for File::Stat.new "" instead of 2 (ENOENT).  We also seem to sometimes 
get 20047 for stat'ing 'file:' which I suspect hits some magic windows remote 
server magic.

We can elect to fix this in either JRuby or in jnr-posix.  I would vote for 
JRuby since jnr-posix maybe should only pass what the OS wants to tell 
us...OTOH..it really sucks to catch different types of RaiseExceptions in any 
place where we call any of the stats.  This only affects master so we have some 
time to chew on this, but it is a major blocker to getting Windows CI green 
again.
