This is because the previous fix (or my attempt at least) didn't do the
i >= vcnt, it checked for an empty bio instead. Which then definitely
did make it an error/unlikely path, but obviously this one is not.

The bio iterator stuff has gotten terribly unwieldy and complicated, and
not very efficient either. But I guess that's a story for another
investigation...
