I think you are right, and there may be some other trouble spots in that file too. I remember thinking that the code depended heavily on never having a partial block at the end of the file. But is it worth fixing? The only way I can see for the file length to become funny is if we run out of disk space part way through writing a page, which seems unlikely... regards, tom lane
