Hi,

   I have a simple question that I have never seen addressed but is also
important. If I malloc some space of length size, how much additional overhead
is there?  That is, the amount of ``free'' memory will drop by size + d_size;
what is d_size? I know this may depend on the memory module etc, so for the
sake of argument, assume that I am talking about farmallocs in the large
memory module.

Thanks,
--
