Description
The error string
memory block %ld was freed but still used
is unclear. What it means is that a block was used after being freed, and is now
being freed a second time.
I'd suggest something like
psFree called for an already free memory block %ld

Added logic in the main branch of the CVS to catch this particular case so
that the error is specific to psFree. The error message is now something
like:
Block 1, allocated at tst_psMemory.c:548, freed multiple times at
tst_psMemory.c:553.
The new message, I think, is pretty explicit and gives the allocation point
and where it was freed the additional time(s).
