That's sloppy.  There are no "reserved" error codes to draw on here; any
possible error code you want to use for this could have a collision with a
return code an existing script is already using in the case of some error
that should be considered non-fatal.

The only responsible thing to do here is to review all the hook scripts and
correct them in a coordinated fashion.
