runtime memory

[whyameye]

Should I expect this library to give me an accurate measurement of available runtime memory?

I've been using it and it consistently reports I have 400-500 bytes available and yet I seem to be having issues with memory corruption (variables are getting corrupted, routines aren't running correctly, etc.) I've been trying to pinpoint the problem for quite awhile now, ruling out power issues, buffer overflow etc. and I'm starting to wonder if the memory report itself is incorrect.

to give this more context, I am not using the bootloader, have edited boards.txt to have 328.upload.maximum_size=30720, am using 1K emulated EEPROM, and am using the lgt eeprom api.

I found this was a failure with my specific LGT8F328p IC. When I switched to a different LGT8F328p IC this problem went away.
