Re: 1GB log files?

Hi,

Some notes about this:

Most importantly is that the snapshots are totally broken if you take
them on Mono 1.1.18; you'll need some 1.2.x version for them to make
sense.

If you don't set this, the files are written out to disk in the current
directory.

Beagle also automatically checkpoints (by sending itself SIGPROF) any
time the RSS changes by more than 5% or the heap size changes by 10%
(IIRC) so sending SIGPROF isn't necessary unless you want additional
snapshots.
