Yeah, it's not a typo but an intentional abbreviation.  Having said
that, I don't have any objection to changing it, especially since
there's now a use of "allocated" just two lines away.

I suspect that I shortened it to "alloced" in service of keeping the
comment on one line ... but it looks like it'd still fit if we added
the additional two characters.
