I think I'm using `leaks` improperly. I put a pause in the program
before it begins its work using `while`:
while (1) { sleep(15); break; }
myFunction( blah, blah, blah );
I start the program I suspect has a leak which should wait 15 seconds
and then start its work and exit when finished. While that starts and
is sleeping for those few seconds, I switch to another tab in Terminal
and start leaks. leaks immediately ends after I start is and prints a
few lines to the screen while the program (testkey) is still sleeping.
Here is the output of my testkey app (the while loop begins right
after "<TestKey> starting"):
@naiad ~/workspace/allkeyrtv-1.0.5-beta] ./testkey2
testkey2(20354) malloc: recording malloc stacks to disk using standard
recorder

Here is the output of leaks:
@naiad ~/workspace/allkeyrtv-1.0.5-beta] leaks testkey2
Process 20361: 12 nodes malloced for 5 KB
Process 20361: 0 leaks for 0 total leaked bytes.
Any ideas on how to make leaks run during the entire time `testkey2`
is running?

Novice `leaks` question if you please. We believe we have a mem
leak in an app here in the office. The 'leaks' manpage mentions "If
the environment variable "MallocStackLogging" is set when the
inspected program is started, leaks ..." How do I set this? Is it
to be included in my Makefile?
