Will fix. Should have thought of -ENOMEM.

Another pre-existing issue. Will try to fix on v2, from a quick look,
seems that this one is one of the messier ones, that might need a
separate series. Let's see.

Another pre-existing issue, but should be more or less straightfoward to
fix. Will fix on v2.
