It makes it sound as if there were multiple callers and this change
converted only one of them---"Update all callers to handle the error
returns" would avoid such a misunderstanding.

What this comment says may be true, but does it belong here? After
returning, the caller will exit(2) without cleaning anyway with or
without this patch, so I am a bit puzzled about the comment.
