Yes you are correct,
To clarify I checked each of the statements separatly and from what I
could gather
(eqe->owner & 0x80) was true and
(eq->cons_index & eq->nent) false.
But true! As I am not sure what each statement hides,
I do not know if both should be false or true for the eqe to be
returned. Will try to check the cons_index closer.

Where could I find out more about owner and cons_index / nent ?

Thank you,
