Does anyone know of ANY programs that play funny games with the memory allocation and free lists that cause valid holes in memory? I was considering hacking up a memory list audit that monitors the lists and attempts to correct them when block of memory becomes "lost". Specifically, I need to know if there are any reasons why there would be valid holes in the lists between the bottom and the top of the user program memory. It doesn't seem that there should be but then things aren't always as they seem. I noticed using gemmem that there is ~60K missing upon booting. Dave Burris ihnp4!ihuxz!burris
