Re: Proc::ProcessTable::Process returning negative rss?

Offhand, and without looking at the code, I'd suspect a twos complement overflow.

David, Thanks. After further investigation in the XS extension, I see this in `func bless_into_proc ... case 'l': /* long */ l_val = va_arg(args, long); hv_store(myhash, key, strlen(key), newSVnv(l_val), 0);` [download] Which stores the rss (long) as numeric (float) with implicit casting, so it is still a bit of mystery why negative value shows up? - Jim	[reply] [d/l]
