In the current program it is being reporting correctly. Therefore I think it is no longer accurate to say that memory tracking is still broken. Certainly %M works now whereas before it did not. However the %D %K %X %p %t formats and possibly others are still inoperative. These are not provided by the Linux kernel at this time. The right place to add them is in the kernel. It is really an upstream issue. In this case upstream is the Linux kernel not the GNU time upstream. But they are still documented in the time package. I am therefore setting the bug title to reflect the current status. Bob
