Component used: Paging Version used: 3.0.0-alpha10 Devices/Android versions reproduced on: Pixel 1, Android 9.x

I'm seeing the following exception when using the latest alpha when I set a maxSize. Without it, there's no crash - our objects are fairly heavy memory wise so I do want to set it.

pageSize/prefetchDistance are both 20 FWIW.

To reproduce, I do the following:

set maxSize to 200
open paged list in app
scroll down a lot - beyond 200 items
scroll up to a section where there are placeholders again, which means the page has been dropped and needs to be read from db again
observe the below crash

I have tried the same reproduction steps on alpha09 and can confirm that I see the crash there too.

Seems potentially related to https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/support/+/1482701 which has a similar stacktrace when it crashes?
