Possibly, could well be that there were some sensible return values in
one of the earlier versions. Will think about it also in connection with
your comment in that other patch.

Right, and I am quite sure that I fixed that, but it must have fallen
through the cracks like the other smaller corrections. Sorry about that!

Cheers,
