POSIX says: "The catclose() function may fail if: [EBADF] The catalog
descriptor is not valid. ..."
Implying a known invalid descriptor like -1, or an invalidated
descriptor should be handled.
Glibc manual says:
"... Errors can occur if the catalog descriptor catalog_desc is not
valid in which case errno is set to EBADF."
The linux manpage also says that once closed, the descriptor gets
invalidated, which isn't what we're doing here.
