Doh! In this case the result (new_eff) is never actually used: the -1 is
used just to flush the last proper entry out, so in this case val == 0
which means the following statement sets new_eff = 0. But obviously an
out-of-bounds access isn't great. Thanks for testing!

The following patch should fix it up by making the assignment
conditional on val != 0.

Andrew: Would you like me to resend, or can you squash in the below?
