Reversed the condition to conditionally modify `found' first, then
unconditionally free `conf' afterward to avoid a leak. The change looks
correct to me.

I'm wondering if the new condition is harder to read than simply !ing the
old one. But I guess it's not that important compared to the fix itself.
