(...) So, if I understand you correctly, your concern is that the OS tasks move around the first time you power off & on, but not anytime thereafter? Assuming this to be the case, then: 1) When you first download BrickOS, there is a large chunk of (...) (21 years ago, 7-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Hi Mike, It would be helpful to see each of the memory block dumps and some notation as to what actions you took between each dump (i.e. RCX on/off, program downloaded, etc...) Mark (21 years ago, 7-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Well, I have another problem - this time with Worst Fit. It may be becuase I have been looking at this code for so much time over the past few months, but I have encountered this problem with my implementation and my mind is boggled (as well as (...)

BTW, you can delete these two lines of intialization (i.e. lines 12 & 15 in the above function) as the intialized value gets clobbered on finding the first suitable sized block: 12) mm_best_free=ptr; 15) mm_best_free++; //this must point to (...)
