Makes sense. Such a midx shouldn't be generated in the first place, but
we should handle it robustly if we do see one.

Perhaps it would be simpler as:

  for (i = 1; i < m->num_objects; i++) {
          ...
	  nth_midxed_object_oid(&oid1, m, i - 1);
	  nth_midxed_object_oid(&oid2, m, i);
	  ...
  }

Though I almost wonder if we should be catching "m->num_objects == 0"
early and declaring the midx to be bogus (it's not _technically_ wrong,
but I'd have to suspect a bug in anything that generated a 0-object midx
file).
