I accidentally merged this one, but this patch isn't right.

After this change the [i - 1] indices should be changed to [i].
If i == 1, then the while condition is true, but now i == 0 in the
actual statement, so you access out-of-bounds values.

I decided to revert it, since it is better to just get stuck in the
while loop, then to crash.

But a new patch is needed for this.

Regards,
