i don't want to believe it. trust me.

i wasn't sure if this would work. i actually changed it to this after
trying just a straight null check. i'll change it back to that, and see
if i still experience the same problem. that may have been back when i
was still running 7.0.3 or an early 7.1 beta.
speaking of which, how is "found" functionality supposed to work?

this shouldn't be an issue since i'm running 7.1.

i'll try removing the "if not found" code and see what happens.
