Thanks for the info Mimi.

If this function logs the "result" parameter as passed by the caller, 
the audit message could be very helpful when triaging failures.
But I guess changing this now would cause regression in components that 
expect only 0 or 1 in the "res" field in an audit message.

thanks,
