Defensive against the library returning -1 without setting errno?  Seems
a bit paranoid and cluttery... all for the payoff of an "ERROR:
shm_unlink Success" message if it ever does happen *and* the old errno
happened to be ENOENT.

And the current code uses it even in places that print the message
regardless.
