I find this not only unreadable but a bit scary:

! if (offset + MAX_MEMBERS_IN_LAST_MEMBERS_PAGE < offset)

I'm worried whether some compilers might not decide that that's a
can't-happen situation, and optimize the test away entirely. I think
Andres' proposal is probably safer (though it needs comments).

regards, tom lane
