<P>
Notes: Memory is always allocated at least double aligned
<P>
If you request memory of zero <A HREF="../Sys/size.html#size">size</A> it will allocate no space and assign the pointer to 0; <A HREF="../Sys/PetscFree.html#PetscFree">PetscFree</A>() will
properly handle not freeing the null pointer.
