vldb_check would just read where it was sent. This means that if a
hash entry was beyond the end of file the read would fail and halt the
program dead.
This change adds checks for that so we can go limping on.
There is no code to fix this sort of corruption. I have another
(preexisting) checkin to do that which will happen once I can get a
clean test run.
This checkin also removes a some pointless debugging printfs.
