> The list iterator 'ch' will point to a bogus position containing HEAD if the list is

> the iterator, otherwise it will lead to a invalid memory access.

> To fix this bug, use a new variable 'iter' as the list iterator, while use the origin
> variable 'ch' as a dedicated pointer to point to the found element.
