Further down in the function you increment found->ref, and it looks
suspicious that you return success here having found a slot possibly
having refount zero (and thus available for re-use for another CBM).
I.e. if this indeed is intended and correct, I think this needs to be
explained in a brief comment.

Ah, makes sense.
