The gprof man page only says that a program must call exit(), or exit normally in order for gmon.out to be saved. I have Chris Demetriou's gprof.ex installed, and I am able to profile certain programs under 386BSD. But one which uses only libc_p, even if it is modified to only call exit(), does not save gmon.out. Any suggestions, before I start tearing it apart limb by limb? Thanks. -Andrew Moore <alm@necom.com>
