Comment:

 (In [78326]) Clamped value of parameters 'next_size' and 'max_size' (which
 controls the number of memory chunks to allocate) such that when computing
 the number of bytes that must be allocated, this number of bytes never
 overflows a 'size_type'. This fixes #6701, in a different manner than the
 submitted patch.
