- I'm not sure what the SunOS stuff does, but I've found "mprof" to
- be pretty handy. Among other nice things it gives you a memory allocation
- callout that shows where leaks were (and their call tree). It doesn't do
- quite as much as Purify does, but then Purify doesn't work on ULTRIX. You
- can get mprof from decuac.dec.com, in pub/sources/mprof*
