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.
