Is there a particular rationale for the added multiplier (count++ % pagesize)? Does that yield an unrepresentable length faster?

It was done to randomize the generation of the unrepresentable length/address.
Discussed offline - probably better to keep it simple (just an offset of one page) since there's no particular reason to use a different offset.
v8 is looking good otherwise so I can make that change when merging (once Amit's series is ready).
