Alignment padding inserts a pseudo block header in front of the allocation, sets its size field to the pad size and then ORs in 1, which is equivalent to marking it as a free block, so that xfree() can distinguish it from a real block header.
This patch simply replaces the magic '1' with the defined 'FREE_BLOCK' to make it more obvious what's going on. Also, whilst in the neighbourhood, it removes a stray space after a cast.
