If you are leaking in the C program (I am assuming it is LE) then you might see 
just some large chunks allocated to the heap (subpool 2 maybe....not sure). If 
that is the case then maybe the VERBX LEDATA IPCS command will help (IIRC you 
will have to provide the TCB address). Disclaimer : I am a complete noob as far 
as C is concerned.

If you have a more "traditonal sytle" leak - then this might be evident in the 
other (non-heap) subpools and VSMLIST will show you some clues.

I've never used IPCS :-(  But I'm afraid in this case I have to use it.....
