Currently maxes_table[index] is accessed before index is checked to
be out of range.  Fix this by performing the out of range check on
index first.  Also don't check against a hard-coded maximum value
but use the array size instead.

Detected by static analysis with cppcheck:
"Array index 'index' is used before limits check"
