Arrggh..

I did some poking around & found out that yes, it does work in 8-byte
chunks.  Seems logical, since that's how AllocMem() works.

I never checked the memory list after my call to FreeMem() ... turns
out that it was not being changed at all!  Kinda strange, but who
knows what evil lurks in the heart of DOS.

It also means this code that looks so pretty and is commented so well
will never work.  I still _want_ it to work.  If I run the program
once or twice, and never touch it after that, I can work for days with
no problems.

Ah well.
