If the notification returned an error, this error was returned from the tunnel function. If there were no listeners, the error code ESRCH was returned, even though having no listeners is not an error. Other calls to this and other similar notification functions either ignore the error code, or filter ESRCH. This patch checks for ESRCH and does not flag this as an error.
