IIRC, getrlimit(RLIMIT_DATA) doesn't mean much on Linux, as it doesn't include memory which is added using mmap(..., MAP_ANON), which is used by glibc's malloc(). Also, getrlimit(RLIMIT_RSS) is probably more relevant for your purposes. -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
