(Ed?) Yep, that would be somewhat frustrating, I imagine.

The linked list is one full string, so whenever something is deallocated from
it, the last entries are the ones to be removed first. No cutting in the
middle of things :) Of course, an application can do raw page allocation, but
I aim for DJGPP compatibility, and thus provide an malloc() function instead.

I suspect so.
