Hah, yeah, that's it. The code was definitely indexing off the end
of the width_wrap[] array. It's surprising that we didn't get any
more-obvious failures, like bogus output formatting.

Can you modify the buildfarm's description of that machine to mention
the special malloc debug flags? It'd probably stop me from asking
you this question again ;-)
