parse_range() end too early

Hi there,

I just had a nice experience:

You see, mdir is displaying one file too little when you give it a
range. In other words: its range is too short by one! (mcopy shows the
same behavior.)

It wasn't too difficult finding the buglet, it just worries me that no
one has noticed before.  ;-)  A patch is attached, it needs no
explanation IMHO.

Best greetings,
have a nice and sunny weekend,
Moritz
