I have (quickly) checked that the following does not leak memory once the program has ended but will there be memory loss if this technique is used repeatedly, poss in a procedure? To put it another way, will PB garbage collect the whole string or only upto the NULL?

buffer.s = space(1024)
SomeSysFunction_(@buffer); Returns string of len < 1024

It frees the whole memory buffer, no problem.
