Previously validMask = -1 was considered an error. Now validMask < 0 is considered an error and the value is returned to the image with primitiveFailForOSError().

This is more robust against word length in the VM and provides a general mechanism for the plugin to provide error information back to the image. You can view, comment on, or merge this pull request online at:
