I noticed this during a code review. We are checking that the strlen()
of ->name is not less than the ->name_len which the user gave us. I
believe this bug is harmless but clearly we meant to return here instead
of setting an error code and then not using it.

I'm not totally familiar with the code so please review extra carefully.
