Summary:  array bounds violations in latest CVS on OS X 10.2 -> SIGBUS

Original Submission:  hi -

there are cases where loops across file.file_nchunks in
donkey/donkeyOneFile.ml and donkey/donkeyClient.ml
fail because the loop index is used to reference arrays
that are not long enough.

e.g., (Array.length file.file_chunks) != file.file_nchunks
or (Array.length chunks) != (Array.length file.file_chunks)

this is easily triggered by removing files.ini and history.met,
restart, and "recover_temp".   entries in files.ini with "file_length = 0"
will also cause SIGBUS crashes because of array bounds problems throughout
the formerly secret code.

no fix yet, but lots of interesting stuff learned via Printf.printf / 
printf_string
sprinkled liberally...

why is this a problem in os x 10.2 and not other 
architectures/operating-systems,
including os x 10.1 & os x 10.0?
