By adding two pieces of information, you could make this error message
much more helpful for anyone trying to debug the failure.
Specifically:
(1) the pathname for which open() failed
(2) the actual system-level error
For (2), you could use strerror(errno) or, better yet, error_errno()
which recently graduated to 'master'.
