I couldn't see any hooks in glibc 2.1.3 (on Redhat 6.2). Perhaps glibc 2.2
(e.g.: on Redhat 7, 8) or 2.3 (e.g.: on Redhat 9) do. If I boot Redhat 8
sometime, I'll take a look at it. I don't have access to Unix or any other
Linuces at the moment.

glibc 2.1.3 doesn't seem to have this function. It does have mallinfo, though.

Bye, Rich =]
