  well, memory is *very* strict on some units.. if you use DmWrite
  you normally need to have a copy of the data in ram somewhere..
  (on dynamic heap).. using MemSemaphore...() kinda allows you to
  get around this little *feature* of the os :)

  but, you never know.. it may not work in future versions... we
  are prepared for doing "quick changes" :P
