While converting an assertion of the form `if (cond) abort ();' to use
assert (), I noticed an off-by-one error in sb_build.

free_list is a variable of type sb_list_vector.  An sb_list_vector is
essentially a fixed array of pointers to sb_elements.  The dimension
of that array is controlled by sb_max_power_two in sb.h.

The array is indexed by `size' just beneath the assertion, so the
index had better be less than sb_max_power_two, not less than or equal
to it!  Okay for mainline?
