I'm merging the functions in the script into the bitfrost.leases lib.
The bug had to do with miscounting offsets. I had forgotten to count
buftail in the offset. Today I fixed an additional bug in the
definition of needlelength.

With those fixed, it passes my tests -- it finds the keys even on the
page boundaries ok.

It's not fast, and it's not elegant, but it fixes a showstopper bug
for large deployments, so I'll post a patch for review & comment tmw.

cheers,
