This removes an error check in the case that we set the remaining bytes
to -1.  The length validation the core does should ensure that never
happens but it seems wrong to just ignore that - we should at least note
in the changelog that the analysis has been done.

Are you sure that the best fix isn't to just use an int here?

I thought it never happen and there is no bug report for this so it's
safe with this patch.
