The code is trying to check that all the padding is zeroed out and it does this: entry->padding[0] == entry->padding[1] == entry->padding[2] == 0 Assume everything is zeroed correctly, then the first comparison is true, the next comparison is false and false is equal to zero so the overall condition is true. This bug doesn't affect run time very badly, but the code should instead just check that all three paddings are zero individually. Also the error message was copy and pasted from an earlier error and it wasn't correct.
