Hi all,

I've been instrumenting my application with respect to memory usage.
All mallocs have a wrapper so I know exactly what my application uses.
My latest test showed that this was roughly 15MB. Adding static arrays
and the size of the executable gives me about 20MB total. In addition,
I've managed to measure the size of the PVM input buffer, which did
not exceed 1.5MB. Output buffers are small by comparison.

Looking at the processing with top revealed that the whole thing took
about 28MB, which means that there is 6-7MB of memory missing.
So now my question: I do not have any insight into the inner workings
of PVM. Is there a way to find out how much PVM allocates for itself?

Thanks very much,
Erik
