Paul, Joerg,

Thanks for encouragement, this helps. Lists chain free blocks, need to
realise this once again.

Heap is so dynamic, e.g. clicking Tools.Inspect command allocates heap,
so the situation one looks at changes constantly.

I use SWI[5] to temporarily disable GC (patched Kernel).
Plus some tools in the hope to catch a still picture.
