well, i consider that there is "no need" to change it, if we already 
have enough memory allocated.
i haven't yet run out of memory just because of this.
and then there was this memory-alignment work-around (which i have 
removed for now because i've often got weird results == offsets in 
image-processing) which would not guarantee that the actual size of the 
buffer is equal to the requested size (but of course, you should never 
get less memory than requested).

so there are no real objections against removing the "<"-condition in 
favour of the "!=", but i am not very convinced that there is a real 
reason to change it.
