Possible error found in CP4 book 2 #99

Hi,
I've been looking at the KMP example on pg 335 in Chapter 6 of CP4 book 2.
I noticed that in the examples you seem to preprocess a table that is pattern size + 1,
so that the kmpSearch can reset correctly once a match is found ( j = b[j])
However the kmpPreprocess function seems to only iterate for i < m.
Assuming m is the size of the pattern string we won't fully fill out the table,
should the preprocessing iterate for i <= m ? Or is m here the size of the pattern+1?
Or maybe I am misunderstanding something. Any clarification is appreciated!

Thanks,
Anup
