    As you say, it doesn't work any more. I tried that with various commands on
    two machines (2.6.11 and 2.4.something) and consistently got this:

            Average shared text size (kbytes): 0
            Average unshared data size (kbytes): 0
            Average stack size (kbytes): 0
            Average total size (kbytes): 0
            Maximum resident set size (kbytes): 0
            Average resident set size (kbytes): 0

    because would be exactly the sort of information I'm looking for.
