How is this different?
Some of the listview API functions return -1 on failure. If we were to pass in -1 as the item integer to GetItemText(), the function proceeds to allocate memory before attempting to get text for that non-existent item.
That memory is not freed in the function and needs to be freed by the caller.
We don't currently use the function in this way, but it is quite easy to do so without realizing. So I thought it would be easier to prevent any such use of the function.
The commit message probably didn't explain this well at all.
I can resend if you feel this is needed, otherwise I'm happy to let it go.
'item' is unsigned, so '< 1' and '== 0' should be equivalent.
