>>cannot allocate resource: '/x/y' does not exist

i'm not sure that was a good example.

especially in the APE context, and perhaps not just there,
i'd have said that ENOENT was fine.  that's why it ultimately
couldn't allocate the resource, and being the underlying error,
could be regarded as the more important aspect or at least equally important
in this case.
