Hm theoretically there might be a suitable node, but this approach wouldn't
work. By resetting it to zero you forget that there ever was node 'i'. If there
is no more base page from node 'i', the load remains zero and the next call with
'nid' will think that 'nid' is OK.
So the correct way would be more complex but I wonder if it's worth the trouble...
