Thread: Not representable result out of too large range

We have five different expected files for the int2 and int4 tests because
every system has a different idea on what to print for ERANGE.  I'm about
to add another version.  Would it make more sense to hard code one wording
and not use strerror here?

Kinda sounds like the path of least resistance, doesn't it?  I assume
you'd do the substitution inside elog(), so it's consistent for all
places that might report ERANGE via %m ?
