when user does another FETCH after reaching end of data, or another FETCH backwards after reaching start. This is needed because some plan nodes are not very robust about being called again after they've already returned NULL; for example, MergeJoin will crash in some states but not others.

Therefore, the most robust answer is to prevent the situation from arising at all.
