Should memchr work with invalid data size?

"main memchr" says
The memchr() function scans the initial n bytes of the memory area
pointed to by s for the first instance of c.
But test-memchr.c has
if (pos < len)
{
size_t r = random ();
if ((r & 31) == 0)
len = ~(uintptr_t) (p + align) - ((r >> 5) & 31);
result = (CHAR *) (p + pos + align);
}
which sets len to some random value, like 18446603336355475958.
Should memchr work with it?
