Not sure what you mean.
I made the error return consistent yes, using -1.
< 0 is a reasonable way to test this (and probably marginally more
efficient than comparing against -1) , the "good" values are always
in the range 0..ffff .
I did the refactoring in that patch because we have 4 functions doing
roughly the same thing and the 2500 patch was adding 2 more.
I could do a first patch just changing the existing code I suppose...
