If I want a program to malloc() some memory (which I want to stay
around after exiting) can I then do a Ptermres(0, 0) or do I still have
to save the whole program in memory in order to keep that malloc'ed
memory around?  Or should I do Ptermres(256, 0) to keep only the
basepage?  Is it legal to only keep part of the program from the top
to a certain point in the middle?  What is the proper way to calculate
the first parameter for Ptermres to keep the whole thing?  I'm
currently doing Ptermres((base->hitpa - base->lowtpa), 0).

Thanks,
