Use srv_free only to free memory allocated by srv_alloc, srv_init, or srv_realloc.
Currently, srv_free calls the C routine, free. An Open Server application, however, can install its own memory management routines using the srv_props routine. The parameter-passing conventions of the user-installed routine must be the same as those of free. If the application is not configured to use the user-installed routines, it will use free.
