You should make offset "signed", or pass errors down in another way.
This will not work this way.

It works just fine.  -1 is 4294967295 in ULONG (32bit), which is
exactly the same as offset on error (because we assigned it -1, but
the representation in memory is the same).  We do this several other
places in the code base.

Then use ~0 so that the purpose is clearer. Adding a define for this 
value would probably further increase readability of the code.

They should be changed too.
