[geeks] Memory Fragmentation under AIX

BTW the fragmentation and leak problem were related.

Subject: [geeks] Memory Fragmentation under AIX


We've got an external support vendor claiming that AIX can suffer from
"Memory Fragmentation", and that the only way to fix a memory fragmentation
problem is to reboot the machine.

Anyone got enough of an AIX-clue to be able to confirm or deny this,
preferably with a reference I can take to the vendor?

(I'm not after general UNIX references - I really need something
specifically on AIX)

Thanks,
  Scott.
