It's a remnant of the old 2.4 error handler and should be excised. In early 2.4 or perhaps even 2.2 the error handler ran in interrupt context, so there was no way of waiting for an abort to complete, hence this return value (it told the eh to wait a while for the abort). In 2.6 all eh routines run in the context of the host eh thread, so you can use standard msleep() etc. calls to wait for aborts to timeout or complete.
