Dump reveals that Top Secret is not freemaining the storage.  Instead of specifying a length of x'2200' to be freed, it is instead specifying a length of 7F002200. This means it is not clearing the high order byte (or perhaps the high order 2bytes) before issuing the Storage Release request.

Storage area in DUMP looks like some sort of control block
