Hmmm, I don't think this is all that useful. Real tools can
give you much more detailed specs.

(There are commercial tools like Insure and I have a nice little
quick hack that I wrote over a couple of weekends that gives
function-by-function mallocing profile statics under Linux/glibc,
which I would release, if I wasn't sure that there wasn't
already a better OSS solution out there that I'm too lazy
to find.)
