When an error occurs in the while-loop the error return in ret is not being set in the outer code block and so the error check on ret is always going to be checking on the wrong ret variable resulting in check that is always going to be true and a premature return occurs. Fix this by removing the declaration of the inner while-loop variable ret so that shadowing does not occur.
