The temptation would be to declare "num_pages" as size_t instead of
adding this cost.  But then something will complain about the
"pagelistinfo->num_pages = num_pages;" assignment because
"pagelistinfo->num_pages" is a u32.

The next temptation is to change the SIZE_MAX to UINT_MAX.  I didn't
do that originally because I can't test this and I was trying not to
break things...  We probably still don't want to break things, but maybe
there is someone who is more familiar with this who knows if UINT_MAX is
okay?
