I'm getting a bunch of warnings on Windows related to this:

The part of the expression which is probably causing this:

   (MaxTransactionId + 1) / OLDSERXID_ENTRIESPERPAGE - 1

Which I fear may not be getting into overflow which will not do the
right thing even where there is no warning.  :-(

Would it be safe to assume that integer division would do the right
thing if we drop both of the "off by one" adjustments and use?:

   MaxTransactionId / OLDSERXID_ENTRIESPERPAGE

Hmm, that seems more correct to me anyway. We are trying to calculate which page xid MaxTransactionId would be stored on, if the SLRU didn't have a size limit. You calculate that with simply MaxTransactionId / OLDSERXID_ENTRIESPERPAGE.
