See my other post about task types and pointers.

When you give storage size for a collection, some additional space is
needed by the implementation to manage the collection (free lists,
etc.). That additional size is or is not (implementation dependent, I
think) included in the storage size you give. So you have to give your
collections some extra space if you want your program to be portable.
For fixed size types, I think it would be nice to be able to specify the
size of the collection in number of objects rather than storage units.
