In this case we exit to the caller with the magic return value, having
not set *page.  Either the comment for this function should note that
the caller must set *page to a known value (NULL?) before the call, or
we should set *page = NULL here.

AFAICT the callers in this series initialize page to NULL before passing
in &page, so I think the comment update would be fine.

With the **page requirement documented,
