[Mono-dev] Memory usage doesn't match GC.GetTotalMemory

[pablosantosluac at terra.es]

Hi,

I'm running tests on Solaris 10 x86 with the mono 2.0.1 I compiled at 
blastwave.

http://blastwave.network.com/testing/mono-2.0,REV=2009.01.21-SunOS5.8-i386-CSW.pkg.gz

Ok, my problem is the following:

- I've a test process (PNUnit, but it doesn't really matter) which shows 
it's using about 30Mb RAM: GC.GetTotalMemory

- But (unfortunately) prstat -s size -n 5 shows me the same process is 
eating about 280MB RAM on SIZE and about 260 on RSS.

- And finally I start retrieving really weird problems and the process 
crashes, so it really seems something is broken with memory.

My build uses the included boehm GC.

Ideas?


Thanks,


pablo
