Int 21 Fn 49 - DOS 2+ - Free Memory [D]
AH = 49h
ES = segment of block to free
Return: CF clear if successful
CF set on error
AX = error code (07h,09h) (see AH=59h)
Notes: apparently never returns an error 07h, despite official docs; DOS 2.1+
code contains only an error 09h exit
DOS 2.1-6.0 does not coalesce adjacent free blocks when a block is
freed, only when a block is allocated or resized
the code for this function is identical in DOS 2.1-6.0 except for
calls to start/end a critical section in DOS 3+
