Gary, and anyone else who is 'listening'. NO, NO, NO! NO!! NO!!! I can't _believe_ the mis-information surrounding this. MEMF_PUBLIC means that (among other things) that the memory canNOT be 'swapped-out' or 'mapped-out' or whatever. It is MEANT for those regions of memory which will be SHARED (err, public) between/among tasks. Memory which will be used by interrupts must also be MEMF_PUBLIC (the memory must be available when the interrupt occurs). One would also allocate as MEMF_PUBLIC things like 'messages' which are going to be sent to other processes/tasks.
