I think the patches were from Patrick and misattributed because
I was too stupid to operate git correctly at the time.

The loop is weird, but I guess it worked because the len -= pagechunk
would have terminated the loop and supposedly there was only one
iteration ever. I doubt anyone has hardware to test it, so don't
change it. Well, I certainly won't touch it, you can do it if you want.
