*** What is the difference between error ad errstr ? Maybe errstr should be changed to errmsg ? (Did I say that elsewhere ? ;-) As the file extension is .bz2, maybe the prefix should be bz2_ as well (it's an algorithm, not a version right ?)
How about error_message or error_string?

*** Well, errmsg/errstr are everywhere else, be it in PHP or C. errno would take the lifting also... We would end with function names like :

        mysql_error_number()
        mysql_error_string()

Looks great regarding paragraph formatting but wastes lots of keystrokes ;-)
