I don't think the last part of this is quite right. It's fine if the
incremented byte count is less than PAGE_SIZE (which will always be
the case if there's an offset). We only run into this issue when the
number of bytes to retrieve gets truncated by fc->max_pages as the
upper bound and there's an offset.

Thanks for the fix.
