getrusage not returning memory information



Hello,

I've been trying to trace back an issue with the perl module
BSD::Resource not displaying memory information for processes. I believe
I've traced it back to the getrusage call provided via sys/resource.h.
I've got a simple sample program (below) that shows values for time and
memory use on a FreeBSD system, but on Mac OS X 10.5, I get the two time
values and zeros for the memory values.

Does anyone have any ideas why the values aren't coming back? Should I
file a bug report?

Is there a better way to get memory usage information in a program?

Thanks for any feedback.
Jim

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>

main()
{
   struct rusage ru;
   printf("starting\n");

   int i;
   int a[1000000];
   for (i = 0; i <= 1000000; i = i + 1){
     if ( i % 100 == 0 )
       printf("%d",i);

     a[i] = i;
   }

   int c;
   c = 1;

   printf("\n\nGive me an integer to keep running:");
   while ( (scanf("%d", &c)) == 1 ){

     getrusage(0, &ru);

     printf("\n\n");
     printf("%d\n",ru.ru_utime.tv_usec);
     printf("%d\n",ru.ru_stime.tv_usec);
     printf("%ld\n",ru.ru_maxrss);
     printf("%ld\n",ru.ru_ixrss);
     printf("%ld\n",ru.ru_idrss);
     printf("\n\nGive me an integer to keep running:");
   }

   printf("done\n");
   return 0;
}
