sorry, over-editing caused a bug. I meant

  If "addr" is the right-most pixel of the bottom line (or just one
  past that), then *it* has the highest address, and then adding
  anything non-negative to it (i.e., how we end up with "max") makes no
  sense.

I should have started with the diagram, not with the text.

Thanks
