To get the correct behavior for values of max_index less than 0, you need
to change the test from "i == max_index" to "i >= max_index", and you also
need to move the test to directly after label_1.  Other than that, it
looks like perfectly reasonable ratfor-type output (except that the labels
should start at 23001).
