Sub:    Memory management

I have an application which reads large chunks of data (ca. 45k) from a file
and displays them in tabular form.
    I have set the low space reserve in my mem! resource to 50*1024 bytes,
    but MemSpaceIsLow continues to return FALSE even if the debugger says there
are
    only 4k bytes of (permanent) Freemem left. Why ?

Here my mem! resource:

resource 'mem!'(256,purgeable){
            0,                      /* add to temp. reserve */
            50*1024,        /* add to permanent reserve */
            0                       /* add to stack space */
};
