The overflow was trivial to fix.
The only concern I had was about the behaviour after it did the
special case. I didn't want it to keep doing the math and trying to
grow again a little bit every tuple. I think I was leaning to putting
the magic flag back. The alternative is to only do the one-off grow if
we can grow at least some arbitrary percentage like 10% or something
like that. But it seems like a lot of arithmetic to be doing each time
around for probably no gain.
