Subject: [ruby-core:41418] clang warning in bigdecimal

When bigdecimal is compiled under clang I get this warning:

/Users/drbrain/Work/svn/ruby/trunk/ext/bigdecimal
compiling bigdecimal.c
bigdecimal.c:4364:37: warning: array index of '1' indexes past the end of an
      array (that contains 1 elements) [-Warray-bounds]
        b1b2p1 = b1b2 = b1 * BASE + b->frac[1];

I'm using Apple clang 3.0:

$ clang -v
Apple clang version 3.0 (tags/Apple/clang-211.10.1) (based on LLVM 3.0svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin11.2.0
Thread model: posix

I dug around in the bigdecimal and it seems that frac is modified to point to a larger array, but perhaps clang has detected a scenario where it is not modified?
