--- Comment #2 from Mark Johnston <markj at FreeBSD.org> ---
It happens with blist_create(128, 1) too.  In that case, we need two leaf
nodes, an internal parent node, and a terminator.  However, we end up with
nodes == 3 since last_block < blocks.  That is, we're missing a case where
nodes should be initialized to 2 instead of 1.  The problem is triggered when
"blocks" is the sum of powers of 2 >= BLIST_BMAP_RADIX.

        while (last_block > 0) {
                nodes += last_block + 1;
