This does 'return err' afterwards, which then changes the logic from 0
to 1, which seems wrong - especially given that it gets passed further
elsewhere as a pid, which seems very questionable in the first place,
but at least 1 would be valid pid unlike 0?

IOW, I think you need

-	return err;
+	return 0;

a couple of lines later.
