Yeah, the problem surfaced because of patch #4. Previously TTM would 
have just ignored all errors and continued to try different placements 
and only return -ENOMEM when we ran out of a possible placements.

I probably need to either fix patch #4 or reorder the patches.

Thanks for the note,
Christian.
