-      If the final chunk of a large tuple being written out to disk was
-      exactly 32760 bytes, it would be corrupted due to a fencepost bug.
-      This is a hazard for parallelized plans that require a tuplestore,
-      such as parallel hash join.  The query would typically fail later
-      with corrupted-data symptoms.
