This message wasn't to me but I am curious. I am assuming you mention the
above because of memory alignment? It was mentioned before on this list
(and I am doing this from memory so who knows how accurate this is :) ) that
AllocVec and AllocPooled calls AllocMem. And memory obtained with
AllocMem is longword aligned. Is this incorrect or did I miss your point
entirely?
