Actually, there was a bug in the info command, and a bug in ram.
Info assumed 2 reserved blocks, rather than reading the environment
vector.  (It also didn't check for a possible divide by 0).  I fixed
both for 1.3.  RAM also had a bug, involving deleting directories.
(essentually, the block count became 1 off)  I fixed than one, too.
