No... It's not a bug. The highest room-# is equal to top_of_world - 1. In
OLC you have a lot of defines that are like top_of_world you have defines
like NUM_ROOM_FLAGS, NUM_ITEM_FLAGS, etc... All of them are checked the same
way as with top_of world: for (counter = 0; counter < NUM_ROOM_FLAGS;
counter++) { <--- Is what the olc uses to display all the avaliable room
flags in the olc to the builder's screen. if this would've been: for
(counter = 0; counter <= NUM_ROOM_FLAGS; counter++) { then you'd end up with
an UNDEFINED flagg last instead of the last existing flag. The same is with
top_of world, you'd end up checking a room that doesn't even exist, which is
very bad to the health of your MUD. Hope this clears it up a bit :)
