   Perhaps I should have spoken up earlier, but none of these reports has
indicated a problem. The "92%" above is the percent of buffers that have been
allocated and are currently in-use. The system allocates more when the pool
runs out. The % in use is essentially a useless number that shouldn't even
be reported because it just causes confusion about what it means.
