Looks like a programming bug to me. doc_no2 should be initialized to zero, in case the corpus/generator is empty (which is what this block is actually testing).

Thanks for reporting.

I can try to patch it. I'll update and cut a PR when ready. Cheers!

@paulrigor The existing tests pass.

Can you please add a new unit test to cover the bug you fixed? The test should fail without your change, and pass once your change is in place.
