leak is leak(1) extended with an -a flag that tells it to print a report, a bit like with -s, which associates allocation 'locations' in a program with the total number of bytes allocated at those spots. depending on my understanding of how leak(1) works this works nicely or completely misses the point. currently depends on a perl program 'blocksum' to sum the counts of the block lines; this is to be rewritten in 'pure' awk (using external hex2dec function for each translation is too costly - when we are low on memory we get _many_ page faults).
