0 is not a valid argument type.
You have to choose an argument type from the list
at the top of dll.e. Apparently this C routine takes
one argument of some type, e.g. C_INT, C_DOUBLE etc.
You have to say what the type is.

I think, a few releases ago, 0 was quietly accepted 
as an argument type, without any error message. 
I'm not sure what that really meant though - perhaps equivalent to C_INT. 
So maybe this used to "work". Just fix the call to define_c_func()
in tcp.ew at line 32.
