Does anyone know how to get the INT 21H, function 0x49H (free dos memory
block) to coalesce adjacent free blocks.  I don't see this happening on my
DOS 3.2 box, and really detest the idea of manually walking the chain of
allocated memory blocks and coalescing all the free ones into a single long
block.
