+The error queues are stored in a thread-local storage with one B<ERR_STATE>
+entry for each thread. ERR_get_state() returns the current thread's
B<ERR_STATE>. An B<ERR_STATE> can hold up to B<ERR_NUM_ERRORS> error
codes. When more error codes are added, the old ones are overwritten,
on the assumption that the most recent errors are most important.
