It may look weird when you consider the retry, but I'm pretty sure it
isn't wrong. The only way you can get to the retry is if the for-loop
breaks before the last interation, which means chunk_size will be
unchanged. That's not immediately obvious, though, so maybe this
implementation was trying to be too clever.

That's fine too.
