We provide a Heap Placement FAQ to assist with choosing the various parameters 
needed to rearrange Allegro's address space. The below link points at the
8.0 FAQ, but it also exists in the 7.0 and 6.2 FAQs.

   http://www.franz.com/support/documentation/8.0/doc/faq/faq3-9.htm

The document makes reference to a foreign function that exists in the
Allegro shared library, memory_status_dump(), for viewing the process
address space. If you're on windows, though, I prefer the Process
Explorer, found in the Utilities section at www.sysinternals.com. In the
off chance that there is another library interfering with Allegro's heap
placement, it will show you exactly which dll it is.
