Synopsis: Last urgent chunk cannot be used

Description

Based on code inspection only, it appears that the last urgent chunk (in
urgent.c) cannot be used by `uchunk'.  Variable `urgent_index' starts out 
at -1. So allocating 1 urgent chunk sets urgent_chunk to 0 (in `ufill').  
But the test in `uchunk' to see whether there is an urgent chunk available is

   if (urgent_index > 0)

It seems to me that this should be

   if (urgent_index >= 0)
