According to
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/docs-latest/ref/ecos-ref.9.html#pgfId=1026735

The memory available from the memory pools will not be the same size as
the memory supplied to it. Some of the memory is used for internal data
structures of the allocator. cyg_mempool_fix_get_info() and
cyg_mempool_var_get_info() may be used to determine the available
memory.
