Comment (by bonefish):

 Replying to [comment:6 anevilyak]:
 > In that case, should I remove the current "Valid range" indicator
 entirely, or perhaps reword it to something like "Known range"? The
 original intention was to compensate for the fact that we only show the
 first 10 elements of an array/container by default, regardless of its true
 size, so this was meant to be a hint as to what was in fact available,
 since it's not always necessarily obvious in context.

 I'd keep it as is for containers like BList and BMessage where the maximum
 element count is fixed. In the array case it certainly doesn't harm to
 have the info still available, but the label should indeed be renamed.
 Ideally to something that indicates that this isn't fixed, maybe "Current
 bounds".

 I can't reproduce the crash anymore with the new patch.
