just create an array locally.. a few bytes isn't going to kill your
stack :) having MemPtrNew() for a small string kinda takes more
code to do than you would save.. and, chances are people forget to
call MemPtrFree() :P
whats the largest number? 16bit - 32767 or 65535, only need 5
characters.. with 32bit.. you'll need a bit more..
