[MiNT] Realloc() debug message



Hi,

during some experiments I observed one strange thing -- I was curious if Vsetscreen() XBIOS call frees already allocated screens or not. So I put Vsetscreen() in 100 iterations cycle and checked info about free memory.

However, as soon as second Vsetscreen() was called, I saw "realloc_region: ..." message which appeared somewhere on screen (XaAES, program started as .tos from toswin). Quick look into freemint/sys/memory.c tells me this is because FORCE() debug output is used by reallocation.

Is there any reason for this? I mean, is this operation somehow special that we need to inform user about it using FORCE() and not TRACE() for example?
