[erlang-questions] memory usage gap in erl_crash.dump?

[satoshi kinoshita]

This is a kind of repeating the same question I sent about 2 weeks ago.
But please let me ask one of my old questions again.

I'm using R11B-5 32 bit beam and got some crash dumps.
Though "processes_used" is about 1.6G bytes
the sum of Stack+heap and OldHeap sections of all processes in the same
dump file
is only about 100M words(=400M bytes).

Does any one have any idea for this gap between 1.6G and 400M?

I calculated the sum of all processes like below using, grep, cut, tr and
bc.


Thanks,
Kinoshita
