    Fix a framing bug when reading versions from a versions cell.
    
    Our ++ should have been += 2.  This means that we'd accept version
    numbers even when they started at an odd position.
    
    This bug should be harmless in practice for so long as every version
    number we allow begins with a 0 byte, but if we ever have a version
    number starting with 1, 2, 3, or 4, there will be trouble here.
    
    Fix for bug 8059, reported pseudonymously. Bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha
    -- specifically, commit 6fcda529, where during development I
    increased the width of a version to 16 bits without changing the
    loop step.
