Sounds like a bug; I'll be curious to find out what platform you're on. But don't do it here: please file an issue (see https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#how-to-file-a-bug-report).
Also note that there were some recent improvements in the ability to distinguish user-code and base (https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/9581 ), but they're not available in 0.3 yet. So if you're using 0.3, there may be some inaccuracies. --Tim On Tuesday, January 06, 2015 02:59:11 PM Petr Krysl wrote: > Actually, correction: for 0.3.4 the _system_ *.mem files are in the julia > folders.
