Oooohh... good catch.  Thanks, Ryan.  This was one of the cases where the
original code was updating start and end but not length, but got away
with it because heap_read calculated length every time from end-start.
In the process of my translation to a "no-end world" :), I lost that line.

Martin and Jean-frederic, does this fix the corrupt data you were seeing?
