If we perform this subtraction and then add 1, the subtraction can sometimes overflow to -1 before the addition can bring its value back to 0. That behaviour seems to be benign, but it nevertheless causes test failures in compiler configurations that check for overflow. We can avoid the overflow by instead subtracting (N - 1), which is algebraically equivalent, and more closely matches what the code is actually trying to do.
