Yep.  Sorry about that.  It appears to be part of the client-server 
protocol.  The printf()s there are going directly across the wire to the 
client and "error <code> <text>" is defined to tell a client about a 
fatal authentication problem and request that <text> be shown to the 
user.  No error codes other than 0 are currently supported.  This part 
of the patch is good, but I think most of the rest of what I wrote still 
stands.
