The function has an unsigned return type, but returns a negative constant
to indicate an error condition.  Another error condition in the same
function is indicated by returning 0, and indeed the only call to the
function checks for 0 to detect errors, so the return of a negative value
it converted to a return of 0.

A sematic match that finds this problem is as follows:

// <smpl>
@exists@
identifier f;
constant C;
@@

 unsigned f(...)
 { <+...
*  return -C;
 ...+> }
// </smpl>
