An infinite loop can occur in _badblocks_clear() when BB_OFFSET(p[prev + 1])
equals bad.start, resulting in len = 0. This causes the update_sectors loop
to spin forever without making progress:
s += 0; // no advancement
sectors -= 0; // stays positive
goto re_clear; // infinite loop
The bug exists in two code paths:
1. _badblocks_clear() at line 1153 (behind overlap check)
2. _badblocks_check() at line 1240 (behind overlap check)
Add checks in both functions to ensure len is non-zero before entering
the loop.
