[Haskell-cafe] help understanding zlib space leak

[diego souza]

Sorry, I should've removed the pid number from the output. The
following should be correct:

> $ sudo dd if=/dev/sda bs=4K count=2048K | ./test +RTS -M1M -s >/dev/null                                                   
...

         104,048 bytes maximum residency (6 sample(s))
          24,408 bytes maximum slop
               2 MB total memory in use (0 MB lost due to fragmentation)
...

> $ while pidof test >/dev/null; do ps -o rss= -p $(pidof test); sleep 1; done | tail
