You can find that out by running under a debugger and placing a
conditional breakpoint where we allocate memory for buffers.

You mean, instead of reserving NBYTES or 2 * NBYTES, round it up to an
integral number of 64KB chunks?

Definitely yes, for the MEM_RESERVE VirtualAlloc() calls. 

And I expect that Andrew shouldn't see the DebPrint() message anymore.
