This > is what gdb has to say: Seems like you have to start looking at X11 then :-( I thought about an option to say "Junk all mallocs except number <FOO>" and then you could simply i=1 while true do MALLOC_OPTIONS="X$i" ./xload echo $i $? i=`expr $i +1` done That might help... Havn't done it yet though :-( -- Poul-Henning Kamp | phk@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD Core-team. http://www.freebsd.org/~phk | phk@login.dknet.dk Private mailbox. whois: [PHK] | phk@ref.tfs.com TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
