* NOTE:
* This is a new (Feb. 05, 1999) implementation of the allocation set
* many small allocations in a few bigger blocks. AllocSetFree() does
* never free() memory really. It just add's the free'd area to some
* list for later reuse by AllocSetAlloc(). All memory blocks are free()'d
- * on AllocSetReset() at once, what happens when the memory context gets
+ * at once on AllocSetReset(), which happens when the memory context gets
* destroyed.
