6867	Unclear behavior of parameter 'max_size'	edupuis	John Maddock	"When constructing a pool, a 'max_size' parameter can be given. If non zero, the documentation states that the pool will not allow more than 'max_chunks' at once.

However, this restriction is not taken into account in function ordered_malloc(n) :

{{{
boost::pool<> p(sizeof(int), 16, 16);

void *ptr = p.ordered_malloc(32);  // Succeeds
}}}

Either the documentation should be precised, either the illustrated allocation should fail.
