I did test this quickly, and while this helps, I then run into this
error:

It seems like the gcc in RHEL-5 might not be able to figure out that data_ptr
can never be used uninitialized because it is protected by found.  The situation
with found_i is similar.  Should we set these to default values to shut the compiler up?
