[ shrug... ] Stack overflow in itself is outside the realm of the C
specification. Also, if you want to get nitty-gritty about it,
I believe that the standard only promises defined results from the
subtraction of two pointers that point to elements of the same array
object. So the change you propose isn't going to make it any closer
to adhering to the letter of "defined-ness". In practice, this code
works fine on every platform that Postgres is ever likely to support,
so I see no need to change it.
