IMHO this is one of the most broken parts of the API. Yes, it works
"exactly as documented". There is however, something commonly known
"broke as designed" (BAD).
The last two parameters are reversed from the standard C library. I shudder
to think how many hidden bugs are lurking out there because of this.
I'd really like to see this function renamed in some future release of PalmOS.
I think renaming it would prevent some confusion. MemFlood() ?
