Yes, when I change WordList::Word() to support location_factor, I'll be
sure to put in some proper bounds checking.

Well, I don't recall the request, so it never got on my own to-do list,
and the to-do list on the web site isn't that current.  If you run with
-vvv, you should get output showing the Date headers put out by the HTTP
server, but I suppose that's not quite ideal.  How frequently should these
timestamps be put out?  Every document or every few minutes?
