Subject:      Malloc and free


    Hello !

    I have made a small program which is supposed to alloc
    and free memory. The problem is that it dosen't free
    the allocated memory at all.

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <malloc.h>

    void main ()
        {
        int c;
        void *p;

        c=0;
        while (c<800)
            {
            printf ("malloc: %d bytes \n",c*10000);
            p=malloc (c*10000);
            memset (p,0xff,c*10000);
            free (p);
            getch ();
            c+=100;
            }
        }

    I compile the program using: gcc prog.c -Wall

    Why is'nt the memory free'd ?

    I use gcc 2.2.2
