That is because the operating system assigns memory in big chunks anyway,
so you mostly get at least a few kilobytes.

I think this comment just creates confusion, as sizeof(char)==1 is the *definition* of
sizeof itself.

"The fundamental unit of storage in C is the char, and by definition
sizeof(char)
is equal to 1, so you could allocate space for an array of ten chars with
malloc(10)"

</codepolice> ;)

Anyway, just wanting to clear up possible confusion...
