memprof problem

[Allin Cottrell <cottrell wfu edu>]

I've successfully used memprof for leak-checking my app in the past, 
but on trying it recently something odd happens: memprof starts up 
OK, and it also starts up the target program, but the target program 
is not visible (doesn't appear on screen) and memprof records no 
memory usage.

I tried this with various standard gnome apps as well as my own program, with 
the same (non-) result.

I then tried rebuilding memprof (0.5.1) with the current Debian patches for 
compilation against current binutils (GNU binutils 2.16.1).  Still nothing.

Any ideas what could be happening here?  Thanks.

(All I see on stderr is

memintercept (449): _MEMPROF_SOCKET = /tmp/memprof.uTNjuX
memintercept (449): New process, operation = NEW, old_pid = 0
)
