- Well, I lose memory when runing GEM when the memory is marked M_KEEP.
- MiNT grows since it keeps it and nothing else can get to it. Since
- TOS is single-tasking, then I would assume the hole would not be very
- bad .. since it would be at the end of the list. In MultiTOS, its
- hard to say. There should be a better method than to keep memory around
- that isn't in use except to maintain a linked list!
