Monitor memory usage and/or atom creation

[Grzegorz Chrupała]

Hi all,

I have the following problem: I have progam which runs fine for over
twenty hours, slowly processing a corpus, but at some point it starts
using huge amounts of memory and has to be killed.
I've had issues before with atoms being created by a library when I
didn't expect it, so I suspect it might be one of such cases. Is there
a way to inspect what atoms are created in a program, to check this
possiblity?
Other than that, how would you recommend I go about chasing down the
memory leak? Is there some way of tracking memory usage to a specific
section of code?
Cheers,
