Sorry, let me clarify. We have thousands of entries in ksmsp as well,
but I was under the impression that 1 row = 1 contiguous chunk. Sorry
for the confusion.

Whilst I was looking at x$ksmsp I came across the following link which
provides a useful summary of the x$tables and some interesting queries
against some of them.

Charles, in your database is there only 1 entry in total for that table
as I see many thousands of entries (same Oracle version but 2.9 Solaris)

Subject: X$ksmsp (OSEE 10.2.0.2 on Solaris 8)

Granted that x$ksmsp is not documented and therefore subject to changes
from version to version (or patch to patch), I have an Oracle Support
Engineer telling me that one entry in ksmsp might actually show
fragmented memory in the case of a memory leak. My understanding, from
what I have gleaned from others much smarter than I, was that each row
of ksmsp showed one contiguous chunk of memory, be it small or large,
FREE or PERM (or something in between). The whole idea of a memory leak
causing ksmsp to report a fragmented chunk as one piece is a little
disturbing.

Can anyone corroborate or refute this?
