Actually, the thing that I didn't like was using an actual string as the
message_id. I would have expected something more in the way of:
char *err = get_text_string( THREAD_EXCEPTION_117, \
"THREAD EXCEPTION: Not enough handles." );
where "THREAD_EXCEPTION_117" is defined as:
#define THREAD_EXCEPTION_117 117
and the actual catalog values are defined as an array ("strings[117]"),
either build-time or run-time, from a language file (such as
"./strings/lang.en"). The second string is a 'fallback' string that is
displayed if the value doesn't exist or exists as NULL (and to aid
readability). It just felt weird to me to use the actual string for the
message id.

I'm not sure where performance is affected with either scenario, as both
systems could be made to work in a similar manner behind the scene.
