    // chunkSize chunks.  At least minChunks will be allocated.  At most 
    // maxChunks will be allocated.  There will be at least freeHeapSpaceRequired 
    // bytes left in the heap after the call.
    //
    // There are some simple rules to following for these parameters.
    // 
    // o In order for this module to be effective chunkSize should be
    //   significantly bigger than the largest block you will allocate 
    //   using OTAllocMemFromReserveInContext.
    //
    // o You should set freeHeapSpaceRequired to at least 32 KB, preferably 
    //   a larger value like 64 or 128 KB.  Mac OS does not deal well if 
    //   if you have very little free space in your application partition.
    //
    // o If you intend to use OTAllocMemFromReserveInContext for your 
    //   primary application allocator, (minChunks * chunkSize) + freeHeapSpaceRequired + static allocation size
    //   should be approximately equal to your minimum application partition 
    //   size.
    //
    // o DonÕt pass $FFFFFFFF to maxChunks, even if you want your entire 
    //   application partition (except for freeHeapSpaceRequired bytes) 
    //   to be used for the OT memory reserve.  This will work on current 
    //   systems (because OTAllocMemInContext will be allocating from 
    //   your application partition) but it may cause problems on future 
    //   systems (if OTAllocMemInContext is revised to get memory from 
    //   a read/write file mapping, for example).  Thus is actually the 
    //   case on Mac OS X.  This module does not make a lot of sense on 
    //   Mac OS X, but it will work properly if you pass a reasonable 
    //   value for maxChunks.
    //
    // o ItÕs likely that passing anything other than nil for clientContext 
    //   is a bad idea.  This routine allocates the routine using OTAllocMemInContext, 
    //   passing clientContext as the context parameter.  If you pass a non-nil 
    //   value (not the primary application context), itÕs likely that 
    //   OTAllocMemInContext wonÕt allocate memory from the application heap 
    //   and thus your
