The Memory Manager knows an interrupt is in progress, so CompactMem takes no action and
memory allocation requests do not cause unlocked memory blocks to move and do not attempt to
purge purgeable blocks to make room. Memory allocation requests will still normally succeed,
but you will not be able to allocate a block larger than the value returned by MaxBlock.
