Do you know of a utility that will show the system heap usage?

I have a problem that I think might just be related to heap size, and have
sized up heap with heapfixer, but think there might be a memory leak causing
it to gradually fill and overflow.  I think I've seen mention on the net of
a utility (named scope?) that would display the heap status or something,
presumably running as an init or da or cdev, so can run it while other
program is running.  The idea would be that I'd let this thing run until
the problem appears and then check the heap to see if it has in fact overflowed.

Couldn't find such on sumex...but hard to tell for sure...maybe I'm missing it.

Thanks!
