Oop maps: run count used as an end index · case 02

Reference runs that start beyond their count scan nothing, so referenced objects are missed.

Case contract

Precise tracing with per-class reference maps. Objects are word lists: words 0-1 are the header; object arrays keep their length in word 2 and elements in words 3..3+len-1 (anything after is padding); primitive arrays contain no references. Instance classes list [offset, count] runs of reference words and inherit all superclass runs. A reference word of 0 is null; a nonzero reference that is not an object id is reported as [object, word]. Return the reachable ids and the bad references.

Why this case matters

Tracing must follow exactly the reference words described by type metadata, no more and no less.
