Research direction

Start by locating the visit_ArrayType entry point and inspect how array metadata is read. Reproduce cases where attr lacks 'max' and where Linux reports a 0xffffffff-style maximum; done means both cases are handled without failure and relevant tests pass.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I've found Arrays that didn't had attr['max']
and on linux i've seen max set as 0xffffffff, and it should be check as in:

if 'fffffffffffffffff' in max:
    max = -1
