All,

I'm looking for info on virtual memory fragmentation on Linux. I have 
come across a few articles indicating that processes on Windows that 
malloc/free memory all the time will fragment the memory until no 
contiguous memory is available and the process will receive an out of 
memory error.

Although the malloc/free memory call is made at the process level, would 
Linux face the same limitations, or does the way Linux handles virtual 
memory alleviate this problem.

thanks,
