Assuming that is an errno error, a couple things come to mind - first, 
adding an strerror() call to the code to get the systems error string 
for that errno.

Second, looking for that number in errno.h.  On HP-UX that would be as 
simple as:

grep 49 /usr/include/sys/errno.h

for OSX, you may need to see what /usr/include/errno.h includes and make 
sure you search those files.

Armed with that knowledge, we may be able to determine better what is 
going-on and how to deal with it.
