The issue isn't that we need more pages, it's that we can overflow
INT_MAX so scif_get_window_offset() succeeds when it should fail.

You're missing the point. Never mind, I will send a patch for this.

It doesn't work. off_t is a signed type so it's undefined. The
compiler will often just remove the condition.
