Experiments with damaged USB flash drives and ddrescue revealed that the 
current mapping of these Win32 errors to the fallback EACCES could be 
improved.

BTW: I wonder why EACCES was selected as the fallback. Source code 
control forensics suggest that this was decided in the last millennium. 
A related comment from CGF added August 2000 persists until today :-)
/* FIXME: what's so special about EACCESS? */
