Which makes much more sense, but is poorly signaled in the naming conventions. I also misread this comment about "incorrect". You meant "incorrect" about the reclaiming of freelist not about the ordering. Instead of trying to have a constructive discussion, I believe your responses here were quite hostile, and their "short" nature has led to further miscommunication. My mistake was answering too quickly. I have removed myself from the list because I really just don't want to be involved in this style of discussion in the future.
