Hello,

I don't use the above method for allocating packet memory.  I use malloc(),
but the above method is fine.

I tend to allocate 32-64Kb for each packet workspace to start with, then
reduce it when I have a better idea of how much space I actually need.
GsGetWorkBase() is handy for working out exactly how much packet memory is
being used.
