If there aren't enough master pointers around the Memory
Manager will call MoreMasters itself as it needs them.  The
problem is that blocks of master pointers are
non-relocatable so if MoreMasters gets called by the Memory
Manager deep into your code you'll probably wind up with a
nasty non-relocatable block in the middle of your heap.
