[fpc-pascal] Help with understanding HeapTrc output

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Sorry, but I know the output below is going to wrap horribly.  I'm
self-taught when it comes to understanding the heaptrc output.  I also
couldn't find clear documentation explaining the output.

>From the information below, I gathered the following information. But
a few points I'm not sure about...

1)  Every "Call trace for block" is a memory leak, correct?

2)  Each "Call trace for block" is where the memory was allocated
(start being used)?

3)  I should trace the information from the bottom line to the top line...

4) Why does it quote more than one line?  If I allocated memory on a
specific line, should just that line be quoted?
