The current behavior is to store the value in def depending on the
return value of virXPathULong.  But looking at the function, this is
only done when the return value is 0.  And it seems the virXPath
functions only store the value when returning 0, so IMO your proposal is
correct.  I've sent a V2.

Thanks,
Jim
