Hello

We know that PostgreSQL doesn't support a single relation size over 32TB, limited by the MaxBlockNumber. But if we just 'insert into' one relation over 32TB, it will get an error message 'unexpected data beyond EOF in block 0 of relation' in ReadBuffer_common. The '0 block' is from mdnblocks function where the segment number is over 256 and make segno * RELSEG_SIZE over uint32's max value. So is it necessary to make the error message more readable like 'The relation size is over max value ...' and elog in mdnblocks?

This scene we met is as below, 'shl $0x18, %eax' make $ebx from 256 to 0, which makes segno from 256 to 0.
