* If the `count x dt_extent` is greater than INT_MAX then this will overflow the `offset` variable used to offset the buffer. The result was that the offset overflowed becoming negative causing the reduction to be performed in the incorrect memory location producing a wrong answer in the resulting buffers. * By preserving this value as a size_t we avoid the int overflow at the root of the problem.
