[fpc-devel] Array of Ansistring

[Flávio Etrusco]

Thanks for your replies, Florian and Jonas.
This is very nice! I was shocked and puzzled when I found the GNU libc
allocator didn't release VM back to the OS, it's great to confirm you
guys are (IMHO ;-) more sane than the gcc and libc folks :-)

Cheers,
Flávio
