I don't believe that's what's at play here. I think it's a case of TTL below
the shortlived parameter, and ending up in the Transient store, which is
unbounded by default.

Also, remember that you're configuring the size of the store, not the size of
varnishd. There will be some overhead for threads and housekeeping.
