Possible bug with the length operator

[Arvid Enbom <arvid_divran@...>]

Hello.

Run this for some strange results:

print(#{[1]=1,[2]=1,[4]=1,[8]=1,[16]=1,[32]=1,[64]=1,[128]=1})

According to the Lua reference manual, the length operator (#) is supposed to return the highest consecutive numerical index. This means the above code SHOULD return 2, because 3 is nil.

It returns 128.

The bug only worked for me if I defined the entire table manually, and it only occurred if each index is twice as large as the one before it. The values didn't matter.
