COBERRs are not to be confused with FSERRs.  They are two entirely
different animals.  In this particular case I would expect the "x"
to be either 90 (Exclusive violation; file being accessed) or 91
(Exclusive violation; file accessed exclusively).  For a "complete"
list of File System Error Codes see table 4-2 in the MPE/iX Intrinsics
Manual.  BTW this table lists codes from 0 to 312!  So much for 0 to
255!
