I don't. You're asking the function to recreate a key which is already
in use. "Already in use" roughly translates to EBUSY pretty well,
doesn't it? Also, since the standards don't define a specific error
code in this situation, you can't expect one.
However, the important sentence in the SUSv3 description is:
It is the responsibility of the programmer to ensure that it is called
*exactly* once per key before use of the key.
So it's arguably a bug in the above regression test.
