> Please review this change to PretouchTask, fixing the mechanism used to
> claim chunks for parallel touching.  The old mechanism unconditionally added
> a potentially large value to the current pointer and then checked the result
> for overflow.  But since pointer arithmetic overflow is UB, that's not a
> reliable approach.
