Bah, seems I got hung up on the min_mask code above it and totally 
overlooked that the condition itself got flipped. It probably also can't 
help that it's an int return type, but treated as a bool by callers 
rather than "0 for success" as int tends to imply in isolation.

Anyway, paying a bit more attention this time, I think this looks like 
the right fix - cheers Alex.
