James:

The function should return an INT, not a BOOL.  Maybe returning a one is
better than returning TRUE, if TRUE = 1.   However, I don't like
changing a TRUE to a FALSE, as is done in both executions of teh called
function.  A little explanation on why the change is needed is in order
here.  The question that needs to be answered is:   Should the call
return a FALSE (0) or a TRUE (1) and then a patch formulated around the
answer to this question.
