This does more than necessary, though. Introducing "ret", replacing
an early return with an assignment to it, and returning "ret"
instead of hardcoded 0, would have been the "fix a trivial leak",
and the "ah, report_path_error() always returns true" does not
belong here.
These things look small, but small things add up.
