Ok I figured it out.. I saw the info about thread_pool_max being aggregate
in a blog, an e-mail archive, and an Varnishcon presentation. I noticed
today that all of these were dated 2009-2010. I go back to the Varnish 2.1
documentation and thread_pool_max says:

   The maximum number of worker threads in all pools combined

However in Varnish 3 and 4 it says:

    The maximum number of worker threads in each pool

So the real problem is that Google is finding ancient cruft when I search
for information about tuning these parameters!
