Sure, and next you are going to ask me why things blow up when you put a match to a stick of dynamite 🙂 😉 :-)…. Seriously, everything in the system is built around allocating memory. I just see shades of accidental recursion in a setfunction for AllocMem more easily than any other system call (let's see, I need a block of memory to track all these calls…). It is just one of those functions (like Signal, Wait) which take a little more thought than the others.
