SUMMARY
=======
When testing for GMEM_DISCARDABLE, do not use the following:
if(GlobalFlags(hMem) == GMEM_DISCARDABLE)
Instead, use the following:
if(GlobalFlags(hMem) & GMEM_DISCARDABLE)
This is necessary because GlobalFlags() returns a one, i.e., 0x0100, rather than
0x0F00 if the object is discardable. It is also possible that the return value
could be 0x0800 or 0x0400 or 0x0200. These cases are also taken care of with the
bitwise AND.
