<P>
<CODE>ERR_remove_state()</CODE> frees the error queue associated with
thread <STRONG>pid</STRONG>. If <STRONG>pid</STRONG> == 0, the current thread will have its error queue removed.

</P>
<P>
Since error queue data structures are allocated automatically for new
threads, they must be freed when threads are terminated in order to avoid
memory leaks.

<CODE>ERR_remove_state()</CODE> returns no value.
