ssbbrrkk() increases a program's data space by _i_n_c_r_e_m_e_n_t bytes.  mmaalllloocc() calls
ssbbrrkk() should you  attempt to allocate more space than  is available in the
program's data space.

If an  error occurs,  ssbbrrkk() returns  -1 and sets  eerrrrnnoo to  an appropriate
value Otherwise, it returns the old break value.

ssbbrrkk() will not increase the size  of the program data area if the physical
memory requested exceeds the physical memory allocated by COHERENT.  ssbbrrkk()
does not  keep track of  how space is  used; therefore, memory  seized with
ssbbrrkk() cannot be freed.  _C_a_v_e_a_t _u_t_i_l_i_t_o_r.
