Message:

Evaluate errno to find out whether an external command succeeded or not
in function run_program_and_log_to_screen(). This ensures amongst other
things that we terminate if mindi fails rather than happily continuing
and throwing an incomprehensible error later down the track because no
floppy images exist.
