Comment (by rwbarton):

 I suppose another approach would be to store the result of `strerror` in a
 new field the IOError as a ByteString, and display it using non-locale-
 aware IO (currently we do a round-trip through String, which should be the
 identity). Then put the field with the String version behind its own
 unsafePerformIO.
