Re: Zone usage: alloc: vs. allocBlock:

Let me restate this in a different way.  A new pair of methods,
allocBlock:/freeBlock: were introduced in order to provide info for Zone
counters.  alloc: provides this information too (by storing it), but 
it wasn't properly aligning the returned memory.  I've fixed this.

So alloc:/free: wastes a little memory but has a more convenient interface.
(freeBlock:blockSize: is annoying because you have to remind the Zone
what size the block was.)
