Correction: ns_info pools will probably return nothing if you've done
the static build (as I believe you were doing in order to use purify) as
the code won't call Tcl_GetMemoryInfo in that case either.

However - that doesn't mean the pools aren't there. You'll know they are
if you see calls to GetBlocks in any call traces. You may have to attach
a debugger to find out for sure. If the globals firstCachePtr or
sharedPtr are there that means tcl was built with the thread memory
allocator.
