Title: poolmanager: Warn when spacecostfactor is too big

When space cost factor is large, wass may run into a problem caused by
the limited precision of floating point arithmetic. When that happens
the code reaches a statement that was thought to be unreachable.

This patch adds a check that detects the situation and generates
a more suitable error message.
