      The counter is only 32 bits. Because it can roll over, a PageFaultException that gets caught and then not handled for a long time might think that the era hasn't changed when in fact it has advanced 2^32 times. This could lead to calling Record::touch on invalid memory.

      The easiest fix is to make it a 64-bit counter.
