      Coverity complains with "Out-of-bounds access (OVERRUN)" whenever an array offset is accessed past the end of an array.

      We pass NULL-terminated variable length arrays into the __wt_config_gets_def() function, and our access is safe because we check for a NULL before we access past the end of the array, but the complaint is a common enough one that it's worth making it go away.
