From "ROM Kernel Manual, Vol 1"  (The older CBM published version)

Page 1-64, "Memory Allocation"

	"Partial blocks can be deallocated, but note again that
	FreeMem() rounds your address down to the nearest even 
	multiple of MEM_BLOCKSIZE and the size up to the nearest
	multiple before the FreeMem() is perfromed."
