State-Changed-Why:
    I don't think this is an allocator::allocate issue per se. The member function reserve is only in std::vector and std::vector<bool>, and the standard says
    
    23.2.4.2 - vector capacity
    
    -4- Throws: length_error if n > max_size().* 
    
    Where allocator::allocate doesn't know what vector::max_size is. 
    
    This fix brings the code up to conformance, and is the best fix I think.
