bugfix: potential segfault in output file writer (omfile)
In async write mode, we use modular arithmetic to index the output buffer array. However, the counter variables accidently were signed, thus resulting in negative indizes after integer overflow. That in turn could lead to segfaults, but was depending on the memory layout of the instance in question (which in turn depended on a number of variables, like compile settings but also configuration). The counters are now unsigned (as they always should have been) and so the dangling mis-indexing does no longer happen. This bug potentially affected all installations, even if only some may actually have seen a segfault.
