Subject: -d:SizeMe uses too much memory
I tried to use perl -d:SizeMe to debug a problem with excessive memory usage in OTRS. The process used 450MB virtual memory on its own. With perl -d:SizeMe the memory usage increased to more than 3.6GB at exit, until it was finally collected by the OOM killer. For a module that should be usable to debug excessive memory usage, it would be very helpful if it didn't increase the memory usage by a factor of 8 or more :-)
Was it the main perl process that grew or the perl subprocess that's started automatically to handled the screamed results?
