https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/memory-consumption-problem/m-p/2420365#M766620 I have a simple little test program (see attachment) which does nothing more <BR />than malloc a block and then free the block, repeatatively inside a loop. Yet <BR />the process size (when viewed via ps -l) continues to grow.<BR /><BR />Why doesn't the malloc reuse freed memory when it is available?
