Hi all,

Well, I have the error notice no longer at hand, but it was of the family of unreferenceable addresses. Do not forget that this fragment of code is related to functions included in bitops.h, and are
architecture dependent and written in assembler.

By other hand, the dump core produced if kfree is employed, is already known and indexed through Google. So I am forced to set 'offset = NULL' in order to reassign the same old location to the next
recurrence of kmalloc. So, things stay controlled.

What I can tell you for sure is that, employing this code, file after file writings and erasings of directories containing about 6.000 files to and from a Minix partition from Linux, filling and
emptying spaces of 200 MB for testing, don't show any bad signal of memory leakage employing blocksizes of 4K which force the use of 'offset'.

Regards,

Daniel
