Here's the function:

function runPages(theDoc, theStory) { 
  var uRuler = theDoc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin; 
  theDoc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.spreadOrigin; 
  while (theStory.textContainers[theStory.textContainers.length-1].overflows) { 
    theDoc.documentPreferences.pagesPerDocument = theDoc.documentPreferences.pagesPerDocument + 1; 
    var backPage = theDoc.pages[-1]; 
    app.activeWindow.activePage = backPage; 
    backPage.appliedMaster = theDoc.pages[-2].appliedMaster; 
    var myPbounds = backPage.bounds; 
    var myNewTF = backPage.textFrames.add(); 
    if ((backPage.name % 2 == 1) || (!theDoc.documentPreferences.facingPages)) { 
      myNewTF.geometricBounds =  
        [myPbounds[0] + backPage.marginPreferences.top,  
          myPbounds[1] + backPage.marginPreferences.left,  
          myPbounds[2] - backPage.marginPreferences.bottom,  
          myPbounds[3] - backPage.marginPreferences.right]; 
    } else { 
      myNewTF.geometricBounds =  
        [myPbounds[0] + backPage.marginPreferences.top,  
          myPbounds[1] + backPage.marginPreferences.right,  
          myPbounds[2] - backPage.marginPreferences.bottom,  
          myPbounds[3] - backPage.marginPreferences.left]; 
    } 
    myNewTF.itemLayer = theStory.textContainers[theStory.textContainers.length-1].itemLayer; 
    myNewTF.previousTextFrame = theStory.textContainers[theStory.textContainers.length-1]; 
    myNewTF.textFramePreferences.textColumnCount = backPage.marginPreferences.columnCount; 
    myNewTF.textFramePreferences.textColumnGutter = backPage.marginPreferences.columnGutter; 
    if (myNewTF.characters.length == 0){ 
      theDoc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = uRuler; 
      throw ("Permanently overset"); // This indicates a permanent overset condition so break out of loop 
    } 
  } 
  theDoc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = uRuler; 
}

And indeed, it throws the error if you try to use it to run pages for a story that consists (or includes) a table long enough that one frame in the originally overset material consists only of a part of the table.

Grrr.
