I am attempting to profile a large program.

According to the monitor(S) man page:

"To profile the entire  program, it is sufficient to use

  extern etext();
  ...
  monitor((int (*)())2, etext, buf, bufsize, nfunc);

etext lies just above all the program text."

I tried the above just after main() starts, and right before exiting,
I do the monitor((int (*)()) 0) call to dump out mon.out.

All seems to work (I compile everything with -p, run the program and
get mon.out). But when I run "prof", I get:

    % prof foobar
    nname 612
    No time accumulated

What gives? Anyone got any ideas? I get the same result if I use end()
instead of etext()...
