<DIV><SPAN class=093222108-11052007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Calls to malloc in
my application keep returning a null value. malloc_free_space reports a free
heap of 3.9M (as I would expect for my configuration).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=093222108-11052007><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've tried multiple

the free heap goes down correctly in line with the memory I try to malloc but
malloc always returns null.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
