Note, I didn't look at how 'end' works, and it really does matter if 'end'
is an "inclusive" or "exclusive" end pointer address. So my replacement
overlap() function was written more as a conceptual patch - I did not
check the exact semantics of the arguments passed in.
If 'end' is exclusive, then 'b1' should be calculated as 'a1+size-1',
because the ranges must have the same rules. And then you should use the
'strict inequality' operators for testing the ranges.
