Description

FASTERA\cs\src\core\Allocator\MallocFixedPageSize.cs Line 553

int numRecords = (int)numBytesToRead / RecordSize;

When numBytesToRead greater than int.Max() recover will stuck

My fix:
int numRecords = (int)(numBytesToRead / (ulong)RecordSize);

Not sure if this will cause other problems

Research direction

Open cs/src/core/Allocator/MallocFixedPageSize.cs at line 553 and trace how numBytesToRead is used during recovery. Reproduce recovery with more than int.MaxValue bytes, then verify that the record count remains valid and recovery completes without getting stuck.
