Free lists are employed by the CA server to avoid fragmenting the
IOC's memory. When the CA server detects that a client has finished
using a particular data structure then this block of allocated memory
is placed on a free list. The next time that a client needs that
particular sized data structure then the ca server allocates it off
of a free list instead of calling malloc(). The above message indicates
that there are 3 client data structures, 382 channel data structures,
and 27 event data structures on free lists in your IOC. The above
numbers indicate high water marks for resource consumption within your
IOC. For example, at some time in the past the sum of all channels
simultaneously created by clients of your IOC was 382. Likewise at
some time in the past there were 3 clients simultaneously connected
to your IOC.

PS in my previous msg to the exploder I should have said the "LANCE"
chip and not the "lanse" chip.
