This does not look right as the code will always return 0 now,
independent on the if test. You missed a set of curly braces.

Two more notes.
Please put the description of the fix in the body of the mail.
Right now it is a very long subject - and we try to keep subject shorter
than ~70 chars.

You are expected to sign-off the patch with you name and not a nickname.
If LiuBin is indeed you name then sorry and ignore this comment.

I look forward to the updated patch.
