Yes, only julia 0.4.

My guess is you're being fooled by allocation that occurs during compilation.
Try this sequence:
#load your code
using BlahBlah
# Use your code
# Here I'm assuming this initializes the object A and runs mytest(A),
# perhaps among other things
include("runtests.jl")
clear_malloc_data()
mytest(A)
exit()
The clear_malloc_data erases any allocation that occurs previously, so that
when you quit (which triggers the writing of the *.mem files), it only counts
things that occurred when you ran the JIT-compiled `mytest`.
