Hmph. Surely that should read "false_positive_rate <=
BLOOM_MAX_FALSE_POSITIVE_RATE" ?

Seems a little excessive to me too, given the comment near the #define
that the range limits are pretty arbitrary. Perhaps what would be
suitable is "Assert(false_positive_rate > 0 && false_positive_rate < 1)"
to show that we don't need to check for failure of the subsequent log()
call, and that the log() must be negative so that the nbits result
will be sane.
