That does indeed seem like an oversight.

The message "at least 0 contiguous pages free" reads a bit nonsensical though,
wouldn't it be preferrable to check for i being zero and print a custom message
for that case? Something like the below untested sketch?

+                       if (i == 0)
+                               fprintf(stderr,
+                                               "    segment bin %zu (no contiguous free pages):\n", i);
+                       else
+                               fprintf(stderr,
+                                               "    segment bin %zu (at least %d contiguous pages free):\n",
+                                               i, 1 << (i - 1));
