Filesystem vs malloc space

[Angelo Fraietta]

Greetings all

I have found that I am running out of malloc memory on my system
By doing the following two calls, I can see how much memory I have

            printf ("\r\nFree Space %u", malloc_free_space());
            printf("\r\nMax Filesystem Size %u", 
IMFS_memfile_maximum_size());

At first, I have approx 5527408 bytes of malloc memory and 4329344 bytes 
of free filesystem space.

After loading a heap of data, I end up with approx 207000 bytes of 
malloc memory left, buts still have the same amount of Filesystem space 
left (this is strange as I have just downloaded nearly 100K of files to 
my system). This 200K of malloc space that I have left is still not 
enough to dod what I still have to do

How do I reduce the amount of filesystem space and increase the amount 
of space for malloc?
Why didn't the Filesystem space show the difference; or is it that the 
call I made shows the total IMFS space- not the amount remaining.

Thanks
