This test is not realistic. Memory management will always give you back the same
264 byte chunk.

Tougher is:

#define NMAX_TESTS 1000

char *pCharArr[ NMAX_TESTS ];

for ( int j = 0; j < NMAX_TESTS; j++ )
   pCharArr[j] = new char [ Random( NMAX_TESTS ) + 1 ];

for ( j = 0; j < NMAX_TESTS; j++ )
   delete[] pCharArr[j];
