They all mean "No value to return".  The different negative values are an artifact of the development where I wanted to make it easy not only to tell that something went wrong, but also to have enough detail to figure-out what happened without having to add code and repeat the test.  I will clean-up these in the next submission -- along with a few additional places where there are similar "leftovers".
