Synthea's simulation of height and weight under the age of 20 depends on growth charts published by CDC. The growth charts are provided with a method for transforming values into percentiles and vice-versa. It appears that for higher percentiles, this method can break down.
The case that was used for testing this issue is transforming the ~99.74th percentile BMI for females at 240 months into an actual BMI value.
This code change addresses the issue by converting any request above the 99.5th percentile to just the 99.5th percentile.
This addresses #1372.
