memseg walk will return 0 only when each callback returned 0 and there
were no more segments left to call callbacks on. If your code always
returns 0, then return value of memseg_walk will always be zero.
If your code returns 1 or -1 in some cases, then this error condition
will trigger. If it doesn't, then your condition by which you decide to
return 1 or 0, is incorrect :) I couldn't spot any obvious issues there,
but i'll recheck.
