i thought i read somewhere that 4.0 "broke" the 64Kb barrier. :P
maybe i was just dreaming.
you'll find that the 31 bytes keeps track of:
a) where it is,
b) size
c) access rights etc.
if you dug into the memory manager sources, you'll probably find it.
look in MemHandleNew() or MemPtrNew() and in the heap code.
