This is simply a waste of cycles, because xrecoff can never be zero
(if it were, it'd be pointing at a page header, which is not a valid
record location).  If you look around in the code, you'll note that
xrecoff==0 is actually used as an invalid-value flag in a couple of
contexts.

Can you point to anyplace where the behavior would change?  If so
I think there's a deeper bug to fix.
