Milestone:  To Be Determined                     |   Component:  pool    
  Version:  Boost 1.47.0                         |    Severity:  Problem 
 Keywords:                                       |  
-------------------------------------------------+--------------------------
 The following code yields a division by zero in pool::malloc_need_resize()
 :

 {{{
         boost::pool<> p(0, 1, 1);
         p.malloc();
 }}}

 The code above requests at most one buffer of size zero. The expected
 behavior would be one of (i) malloc fails, (ii) malloc returns a null
 sized buffer.
