Found this during code review, hence dug up this old thread again,

Would this condition ever meet?
If you see, the ret inside find_deepest_state is always starting with a 0 and
then nobody is ever really making it negative again. So the func either
returns a 0 or some positive value right?
Since nobody has probably raised an issue about this in 9 years, is this
basically dead code inside the if?
Let me know what needs to be done here, I'd be happy to patch this up.
