This makes the check basically a no-op as SUB_BIT_EXIST would always be
set when we reach this function. It may very well be that we want to
delete this check altogether, or maybe we need to add SUB_BIT_UPDATE and
SUB_BIT_WAIT. I am curious what status bits you see when this condition
(original) triggers for you...
