Ha. Good catch.
That change did not belong in this patch (note lack of mention in log message).
It belongs in a separate patch.
Yes it does because, previously it would be harmless due to
if (dev->fd)
only check for fd > 0, but with this new patch applied it turns into a
real bug, since the check is now fd >= 0.
