The first message looks like a better alternative; the second one
seems bogus (``Invalid call gate'' is something from protected mode,
what does DOS 5 have to do with that?).

But my comment was meant to say that if we keep both strings, the
association between the error codes and the corresponding strings is
incorrect for all error codes following this duplicate entry.  So one
of the entries has to go.

No, the context clearly shows that the text (lifted from some man
page, I suppose) was talking about _any_ call to dup().
