sys_exit: NR 0 (was "sys_exit: NR -1")

I'm seeing another asymmetry, this one is on powerpc:
--
  perf 30179 [001] 10374622.667436: raw_syscalls:sys_enter: NR 11 (3fffe16ef55e, [...])
    ls 30179 [002] 10374622.667921:  raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 0 = 0
--

Syscall "11" is "execve", but is it expected that the sys_exit will report the ID as 0?  Is that because of the nature of "execve", to overlay the entire contents of the process?

This does not seem to occur on x86.
