Hm.  The specification actually says nothing about offsets being allowed
past the end of the file, and I don't think we ever use them (outside of
a very short period during image creation, where we point to refcount
structures beyond the EOF).

So the patch looks OK to me, although I'd still prefer a separate
fprintf() and think it would be fine for check_refcounts_l1() to call
fix_table_entry() directly.
