While reading in the source a bit, I noticed that error handling for
memory allocation and I/O is mostly absent. I would think that that's
a bad thing for code that's supposed to handle important data.
At the very least, I think, the man page should point out that you
shouldn't trust the output data unless you have verified that each
share can be used for correct reconstruction.
