- Your memory manager is like a hotel manager.
- If a guest want to leave his room and take two adjacent rooms, the
- manager can probably satisfy him.
- If the guest wants to use the room adjacent to the one he is ALREADY
- IN, the manager can't help because someone else is probably in it.
-
- So, the memory management routines of the C library do not support this
- request.
