Nice catch, yeah, this is definitely broken when the value i is smaller than m->num_packs_in_base.

This is another spot that would benefit from similar treatment where callers (outside of midx.c and *maybe* midx-write.c) access the pack_names array through a function liked nth_midxed_pack_name() or similar.

I'll adjust this and send a new round.

Thanks, Taylor
