Are you sure you are up-to-date? For that to happen, L must be 19.
Now, L is SIndex / NCount, where NCount is 588. So SIndex must be
atleast (588*19 =) 11172 (= SCount). However, SIndex is code-SBase,
so code must be atleast SBase+SCount. In that case, the entire if
statement should not be executed, because the if statement reads

    if (SBase <= code && code < SBase+SCount) {

It so happens that the fields which are NULL are never accessed.
