If the message is:

Address 0xNNNNN is Y bytes inside a block of size X alloc'd

Then you have somehow allocated X bytes of memory and you have got back a 
pointer to address:

0xNNNNN - Y

So the address 0xNNNNN is the Y'th byte after the start of the block you got.
The range of the block is:

[0xNNNNN - Y, 0xNNNNN - Y + X)
