Subject: Better debugging output for bug 977 case.
Commit: 88d81ead83ded22db7eaf8090edd9ee0937b2dd5

(Don't crash immediately if we have leftover chunks to free after
freeing chunks in a buffer freelist; instead log a debugging message
that might help.)

     - Actually return -1 in the error case for read_bandwidth_usage. Bug
       was harmless, we currently don't care for the return value anywhere.
       Bugfix on 0.2.0.9-alpha.
+    - Provide a more useful log message if bug 977 (related to buffer
+      freelists) ever reappears, and do not crash right away.
