What compiler are you using? Mine doesn't show this.

Technically, the compiler is correct - but we should never see the variable
undefined following the found_slot_for_multiple_occupancy unless the tree
changes under us. Out of a set of N+1 integers that can only be in the range
0..N-1 there must be at least two the same.

I guess I could preclear j to make the warning go away.
