a hierarchy actually matches a bcol that is in use.
There was a bug in one of the paths to calculate the ml buffer size. I fixed
the bug and squashed all the paths together to avoid further issues (the
result was correct in another path that calculated the same value).
Additionally, the i_hier was being used as the bcol_index. This is not
correct in a couple of cases so I added a variable to keep track of the
real bcol_index.
