It happens so often that we have a name for it. It is called an
off-by-one error or a fencepost error. OK, *two* names.
"
True "off by one" is a common mistake.
However in this case, assuming it was a mistake, both programmers would have
made the same mistake in exactly the same code, at exactly the same
position.
Now that's a bit unlikely isn't it ?! ;)
Mistakes with > or >= are usually random, and not at a fixed position.

Maps, too. I once got a bit lost before I realised that the road
I was looking for did not exist.

No comment.
