In parse_binary() there is: forward = parse_binary_hunk(&buffer, &size, &status, &used); if (!forward && !status) /* there has to be one hunk (forward hunk) */ return error(_("unrecognized binary patch at line %d"), linenr-1); so parse_binary() can return -1, because that's what error() returns. Also parse_binary_hunk() sets "status" to -1 in case of error and parse_binary() does "if (status) return status;". In this case parse_chunk() should not add -1 to the patchsize it computes. It is better for future libification efforts to make it just return -1.
