JDK-4140910 - java.io.FileNotFoundException should return more meaningful detail strings
Description
These procedures should return a null-terminated string in the platform's
encoding that describes the most recent OS-level error.  On Unix systems
sysLastErrorString will simply call strerror(errno); on Win32 it will call
GetLastError and then FormatMessage.  For the classic VM, the JVM entry point is
just a call-through to sysLastErrorString.  -- mr@eng 8/20/1998

EVALUATION Done, but the signature turned out to be int GetLastErrorString(char *buf, int len) in order to be thread-safe, and so the name changed too. -- mr@eng 8/24/1998
