Well, the array itself is declared like this:
static const Oid object_classes[MAX_OCLASS] = {
so testing lengthof() of it is useless because it's a constant and the
assertion always holds. If it were declared like this instead:
static const Oid object_classes[] = {
then we could use lengthof().
I don't see any drawwbacks to that.
