The real reason was a boring one and seemingly unrelated to that file. I just ran out of disk space. Still though, that’s not exactly a helpful error is it

    In C/C++, it’s very common for a function to return an integer corresponding to any errors that occured within the function, including a “success” error code, because it has to return something, otherwise it’s undefined.

    I’m not sure that’s what happened here but that’s why “successful” errors are a thing. Somewhere it got misinterpreted maybe.
