Close to this problem is that various libpisock functions have changed
their API.  They no longer return -1 on error.  They return various
pi_error.h codes, which are all negative.  So, there are a fair few
places where checks for -1 should be changed to checks for negative
values.  I think this was the cause of the bugs reported last summer,
along the lines of:
