 * This routine computes the total space available for allocation by
 * jget_large.  If more space than this is needed, backing store will be used.
 * NOTE: any memory already allocated must not be counted.
 *
 * There is a minimum space requirement, corresponding to the minimum
 * feasible buffer sizes; jmemmgr.c will request that much space even if
 * jmem_available returns zero.  The maximum space needed, enough to hold
 * all working storage in memory, is also passed in case it is useful.
 *
 * It is OK for jmem_available to underestimate the space available (that'll
 * just lead to more backing-store access than is really necessary).
 * However, an overestimate will lead to failure.  Hence it's wise to subtract
 * a slop factor from the true available space, especially if jget_small space
 * comes from the same pool.  5% should be enough.
 *
 * On machines with lots of virtual memory, any large constant may be returned.
 * Conversely, zero may be returned to always use the minimum amount of memory.
