We should check the length.  It will just cause headaches if we
don't.

It would be simple enough for me to put back the check I removed
from the middle of the loop.  But the thing is I wasn't sure how all
the + 1 and - 1 things fit together so I didn't feel good about
signing off on this.  Could you send a patch?  That way I get a
reported-by tag but if there are any problems you get blamed while I
deny knowing anything about it.  ;)
