i could see the size of the process getting increased (ps -el in solaris (ver 5.8))
This is not a proper way to measure memory usage.
It's well known that Solaris memory manager is "smart" and it tries to use
all available
memory. When there is no more memory available it runs garbage collector
and starts
re-using freed blocks. Try to use purify or memory checker included in dbx/Workshop
instead of using ps -el
