Under what circumstances will pre-multiplication @overhead have a large
enough value to overflow?  The blocksize cannot be larger than 2^16, and
full splits of three btrees should never require anywhere close to 2^16
blocks, right?  Did your analysis tool find a scenario where this
actually happens?
