Huh, so there are three numbers: the 14024 which is "pages with free
space", the 19300 "required to track all free space" and 18000 which is
the limit.

What goes in the remaining 5276 (19300-14024) page entries anyway?

I think all lines in the INFO message are considered "detail" messages.
So everything should end with a period, or the whole thing be made a
complete sentence.  I'm not sure how to do that.
