\index{DXAllocateLocal}\index{DXAllocateLocalZero}
On machines which do not have pre-processor local memory (this includes

identical to {\tt DXAllocate()} and {\tt DXAllocateZero()}.
On machines with per-processor local memory, these routines first try
to allocate storage from local memory, and if it is not available (for
example if it is all in use), then it allocates from global memory.
This call is preferred to both of the above if you are allocating space
for something which is temporary and will not need to be shared with
other processors.

the error code to indicate an error (such as out of memory or a

try to allocate out of global memory, so the caller can tell whether
local memory was actually obtained.

can severely impact performance if N is a low number.  This feature is only
available in the debuggable version of the library.  
If n == 0, the arenas are checked for consistency, but subsequent tracing
is not enabled, or if it was previously enabled it is now disabled.
