It's the current sbrk() :-) Hm, I don't know what sbrk is.

Or something computed different? :) Cheers, Te"A way to measure how much memory an object takes would be *very* usefull"ls - -- perl -MDev::Bollocks -le'print Dev::Bollocks->rand()' authoritatively embrace ubiquitous data http://bloodgate.com/perl My current Perl projects PGP key available on http://bloodgate.com/tels.asc or via email -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: When cryptography is outlawed, bayl bhgynjf jvyy unir cevinpl. iQEVAwUBPZsQGXcLPEOTuEwVAQGkbwf+JGI1l1FSVqineH3r4MEdzgg5Z3ump+ty QCuy0KQUHxvhd0o1tJMXagI7rFFiAOjlxCRuUp5LxaAjoVuTJbWX8Hg4s20Gp+Am /Q9dIReYvHbZxR36U/gi3dzInY+EWBS65JdBy4rEYVZUKqc52VHBjUwE5cpeNLSP Lmp2wMvX1ZCjdIeNy4ZXNr54uGsa1SpjC+7wQJk5fCb3EO7+IPhE1B1k/4qYpjWl mafOsUMGs3vzMx0N0Lhaerj7uG/Q5ZRurUMuu8QrJEqPgqD2rVl0DYLXF51m2v/3 +lvD7GNXGwmqzhanBKkffJThZNzhCnI4gwMRlxYrql+8a0IBrEv+WA== =5cyi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
