Shouldn't it simply be MEM_RELEASE? Right now the committed memory would

You're correct.  The msdn documents are clearer than my book -- only one call
to VirtualFree() should be needed.  Two changes appear to be needed though:

- change from MEM_DECOMMIT to MEM_RELEASE
- change the region length to 0, meaning "the whole memory region"
