Mxalloc()

Hi!

I have a problem with Mxalloc() here, it looks like it allocates 2
megs when I asks for 256 bytes...

	AVtext = (char*) Mxalloc(256, 0x0003|0x0028);

I'm trying to allocate 256 bytes (buffer for AV commandlines) as
global memory under MiNT, have I completely misunderstood Mxalloc()?
According to the Atari Compendium (HTML-version) and the example in
the BubbleGEM hypertext it *should* be correct.

'AVtext = (char*) Malloc(256);' works without problems.
