Sounds like the code just wasn't expecting '0' to be a valid product
code. The check that is tripping you up on is assuming that if product
== 0, the user didn't specify any product in the xml.

The thing to do is to initialize 'product = -1' at the beginning of that
function (and add a quick comment that '0' is a valid value), and then
update the checks at the end of the function accordingly.
