Memory diagnostics and misc utilities in Forth

I was thinking/musing. Yes, that does get me in trouble.

Are there any public domain or GPL'd Forth sources for memory test on
Windows machines.

I'm not looking for any super performance. I'm looking for educationally
informative examples of how you deal with covering much/most/all of
*physical* memory when you have no prior knowledge of where you program
will operate from nor what else may be using memory.

And by the devious paths my mind operates on, I asked "how can I
determine what files in a FAT32 system are fragmented?" and related
questions. Once again efficiency is not the measure.

Now if symptoms which started me thinking in these lines persist, I'll
go out and purchase any of a number of relevant commercial tools. But
I'm thinking I should really should know something of attacking this
kind of problems.
