for -z, error but a useless one ("repository server unavailable",
which I guess is true, but...)
for -Z, same error trying to find the configd door as if we were the
GZ, due to what appears to be some sketchy error behaviour.

Sorry, I should have checked this case when I went through all the
others, and somehow skipped it.

I'll leave the other two for Bryan, who wrote all the code.  I agree
re svcs.c:223, but can't answer re: lowlevel.
