Doing a rewind when you've promised not to is an error.  So why doesn't
this return an error code?

there were earlier patches where we switched from 0 to an error code based on Takashi's feedback. I am not that convinced that applications actually interpret signed frames as error codes and might interpret negative values literally, but I am not going to lay on the tracks on this one. If we do move to error codes then we might want to update the documentation to make the behavior self-explanatory.
