I'm afraid it's not enough.

Unfortunatelly ignoree is declared "int" so you should test for negative 
values as well.
Also used table is MAX_GENTITIES long, so ignoree being equal MAX_GENTITIES 
is invalid.

Correct test should rather look like this:

if ((ignoree < 0) || (ignoree >= MAX_GENTITIES)) return;
