To avoid the necessity to look up your code sample, I'll post the
corrected version :

  for (var i = 0, len = a.length; i < len; ++i)
  {
    /* NOTE: hasOwnProperty() may be required */
    var e = a[i];
    if (e) { counts[e] ? ++counts[e] : (counts[e] = 1); }
  }

Indeed, `e` is no array index, but `i` is.  Therefore the value of the
properties of `count` is always less than 2³² (even though it could be
greater than or equal to 2³¹).
