Just keep malloc'ing the amount of memory returned by malloc(-1) untill you
run out of memory. If you sum the amount of memory malloc'ed then you'll know
the TOTAL amount of free memory (don't forget to then deallocate all the
memory if you are not going to use it). Back in October Allan Pratt posted a C
example of doing this, if you want the code let me know and I'll mail it or
post it.
