Because it's not valid any more.

It's racy, a little bit. :-)
If two async drivers return errors exactly at the same time, one of them will
win the race, but it doesn't really matter which one wins as long as
async_error is different from zero as a result. And it will be, since it's
an 'int' and the integrity of these is guaranteed.
