Error in Malloc description

[skaftetryne]

One should never rely on the number of bytes actually allocated corresponding to the number requested.

The number of bytes allocated is guaranteed to be the same (or more? I guess it's rounded up to the page size when MP is enabled?) as requested, Malloc will return null if not.

Yes, I guess that's the idea behind that phrasing. Do you think it needs rewording?

[skaftetryne]

I think it should be removed, as it serves no other purpose than to confuse. Malloc is guaranteed to either return a pointer to a memory block of at least the requested size, or to fail. If the actual size of the block is larger than requested it does not matter - there is no way to know exactly how big it is. You only know that it's big enough.
