large enough CONTIGUOUS block of ram to allocate to you. have you tried making a call to HeapCompact() or similar API's to shift things around so that a large enough contiguous block is available?
Would MemHeapCompact ever be useful?
(from the api docs)
>Most applications never need to call this function explicitly. The system software calls this function at various times; for example, during memory allocation (if sufficient free space is not available) and during system reboot.
so... the system calls it when you try to allocate memory. in what situation would it be advantageous to call it explicitly?

semaphore lock? But that works in OS5...so...uh...hmmm...oo, he's teasing us!
