There was a silly mistake in trying to store block numbers as bigint
when sorting the ranges, instead of uint32. That happens to work on
64-bit systems, but on 32-bit systems it produces bogus block.

The attached should fix that - it passes on 32-bit arm, even with
valgrind and all that.

Right, that was a silly thinko in building the stats, and I found a
couple more issues nearby. Should be fixed in the attached version.

Thanks for reminding me, those should be fixed too now.
