Possible problem with malloc_free_space using ss-20021007?

[Bob Wisdom]

Its a shame I can't type in red to show my embarrassment!
My poor use of the format string combined with my ageing eyesight turned the
"l" into a "1" and that is indeed how I got the wrong result. The numbers
are looking much more real now with the correct format string.....
Thank you very much for your attention to detail (Daniel), and apologies to
all (especially Joel) for any time wasted on this one.
Kind regards to all.
