    76	find_next_zero_bit(void *data, size_t sz, size_t ofs)
    77	{
    78		uint32_t *p;
    79		uint32_t mask;
    80		int bit;
    81	
    82		p = (uint32_t*)data + (ofs >> 5);

Hmmm, I don't think so. Did you notice that the type of p is uint32_t *
(line 78) and that data is casted to uint32_t * for pointer arithmetic
(line 82)?

Thank you for looking at this.
