	This value is expressed as a 32-bit fixed-point number, where the binary

	number, or alternatively as the value * 256.)  For the example given of 10%,

	use the value 26.  It represents a value < 1 (i.e. must be < 256).  Calculations

	The hysteresis value to ensure that the pool does not automatically shrink

	Automatic shrinking will only happen when there are (iGrowTriggerRatio +

	iGrowByRatio) * iShrinkHysteresisRatio * (total buffers in the pool) free

	buffers left in the pool.

	The amount by which the pool is shrunk depends on iGrowByRatio: it is the operational

	inverse, such that the pool would shrink down to the same number of buffers if shrunk

	immediately after growing (although hysteresis normally prevents this).

	For example, if iGrowByRatio is 10%, a pool of 100 buffers would grow to 110 buffers.

	To shrink back to 100, a shrink ratio of 10/110 = 9% is required.  That is, if the

	grow-by ration is G, the shrink-by ratio S is calculated as S = 1 - 1 / (1 + G).

	iShrinkHysteresisRatio is a 32-bit fx24.8 fixed-point number in the same way as

	iGrowTriggerRatio and iGrowByRatio.  It represents a value > 1 (i.e. must be > 256).
