The system is Redhat 7.2 with default SMP kernel. I'm using jdk1.3.1_06
(Borland states this should be fine in retrospect to jdk1.4.1). I am
only using the trial version for profiling right now. We are evaluating
and may purchase the full version.

Thank you. I will read up on this. I had no idea. I had been using
vmstat, top, and /proc to get information related to how much memory I
am using. All this time, I did not realize they were inaccurate because
they were indiscriminant of shared memory.

When gtop reported there was 1GB resident for java, it made our system
administrators drop a pantload and they flamed me.
