[fpc-devel] an observation about GetMem

[Peter Popov]

Well, if it points to something, then there is space, isn't it? Unless it  
is clearly mentioned in the documentation that GetMem(p,0) results in p  
being undefined and it is put as a requirement for any custom  
implementation of a heap manager.
Either way would work.
