(chuckles) - yes indeed, you are correct. My example is crap - however I 
think your observation provides the key to explain what I am seeing:

It is postgres I'm (trying to) profile, so there are several postmaster 
processes running and leaving postmaster.gmon's - so I guess some 
short-lived one is overwriting the 'interesting' one I actually want to 
see....I may need to use a single process backend or similar....

Thanks for making me think about this!

Cheers
