I agree with 'ken'. I suspect that what the original poster meant by "boundary overflow" was actually the same thing as a buffer overflow.
The only other possibility that I can think of is a boundary condition, where a variable gets set to a value that it should not ordinarily have (e.g., you expect a response between 1 and 4, but you get a -3).
