This is _very_ old. I think you should consider to upgrade it, if it's 
at all possible.
It might also be the source of your problem, see below.
Current version is 2.0.10, which is a long way from 2.0.0pre19.

The use of strings as return codes in lieu of numbers used to be the 
norm in old implementations, as you might know. I thought it was 
abandoned with the 2.x line, but maybe it lingered in some old versions.
Or maybe a regression mistake?
