That depends on how often you're checking the "health" attribute,
doesn't it? But anyway, the bug is real.

Ack, and thanks for the fix.

Technically, you don't need the 'return 0' (and if we care about
symmetry: the TI version doesn't), since the caller knows that "not
present" will yield errors. I'm not sure which version makes more sense.
