Description 
[dep, 11Apr2006]

  In startd's exec_method, we explicitly store the result of
  restarter_set_method_context() in errno for later processing, but
  immediately call fputs() before getting anywhere:

        /* Set credentials. */
        errno = restarter_set_method_context(mcp, &errf);
        if (errno != 0) {
                (void) fputs("svc.startd could not set context for method: ",
                    stderr);

  As a result, all error processing that follows is broken.

  We should be using a local variable instead of abusing errno.
