in thread time and mem usage of pgm

just prints out mem literally instead of the mem value.

Could you try the following 1-liner at your console; then copy&paste the results into a reply here please:

perl -wle" print `tasklist /nh /fi "PID eq $$"` =~ m[(\S+ K)$] }"

      perl -wle" print `tasklist /nh /fi \"PID eq $$\"` =~ m[(\S+ K)$]"
