Hmm, well, for fixed-length records, at least you could make the buffer

(pagesize/recordsize) * recordsize and avoid getting partial records,
though you could still miss some or get duplicates. At least they would
be complete records rather than a mix of unrelated ones.

Might be more intuitive semantics if the first read resulted in a complete
copy of the data at that point, fed back to the application in whatever
chunks it wants, but only if the buffering didn't eat lots of memory.
