Package: procps
Version: 1:3.2.7-3
Severity: normal

With a standard Etch kernel (linux-image-2.6.18-6-686 2.6.18.dfsg.1-21),
I am unable to get 'pmap -x <pid>' to show any information that 'pmap
<pid>' doesn't show. For instance, I compiled the following test program:

#include <stdlib.h>

int main () {
        void *foo;

        foo = malloc(20*1024*1024);
        sleep(30);
        free(foo);
        return 0;
}

and then ran 'pmap -x 9672' on it:

9672:   ./test

I was hoping to see that the memory allocated at b6a06000 has a
reassuringly low RSS, but all I ever see is "-" (same on RHEL4 with
2.6.9 kernel and RHEL5 with 2.6.18 kernel, by the way).

I would really appreciate it if this parameter worked, because I haven't
found any other way to get the information I'm looking for.

Regards,
Michael
