I suspect this ought to eventually be converted to return an error, to match the rest of the refs code. And in that sense, this is a step backwards versus leaving the current die_errno in place and dropping the LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR flag. But it probably doesn't matter much either way, and whoever does the conversion later can deal with it. -Peff
