|How about Errno::UNKNOWNERROR?  Or Errno::UNDEFERROR?
|Errno::NOERROR seems like a contradiction.

Errno::NOERROR (or whatever) is an system call exception class that
would never be raised from any system call.  An exception class which
is not supposed to be raised is something contradicting by nature.  I
think your feeling reflects this situation.

It's not UNKNOWNERROR since it's known.  UNDEFERROR sounds strange for
me, since it's explicitly defined (in a sense).

I am open to other name proposals.
