Thanks for the reply! I eventually found this page which recommends
/usr/bin/time -v, although supposedly that only gives you real numbers
if your system supports it:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/774556/peak-memory-usage-of-a-linux-unix-process

Also further down is a way to use valgrind to get the info; in my case
that might be overkill.

Thanks,
Paul
