Shadowing variables is not a very nice way of solving the problem.
Someone will come along in a couple of years anf go "huh?" and
remove the shadowed declaration because it makes no sense and has
no comments explaining it.

Better is to use a different variable name for this scope - say
"error2" - or to reset error to a value of 1 after the call with a
comment explaining it....

Cheers,

Dave.
