Suspicious code in builtin-fast-export.c

[Johannes Sixt <j.sixt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

export_marks() has this code:

	struct object_decoration *deco = idnums.hash;
...
	for (i = 0; i < idnums.size; ++i) {
		deco++;
		if (deco && deco->base && deco->base->type == 1) {
...
		}
	}

I see that deco is off by one here at the end of the idnums.hash array
(and, btw, the check for 'deco &&' is always true). Indeed, this crashes
on Windows, and I can make it crash on Linux with this patch (which
overallocates a bit and writes junk into that space):
