Curious memory usage on OSX ;)

Linux (Debian/Lenny):

jhandles
[*] Usage for octave-3.0.1 (11962): 428572 kB, 16.83s user, 8.86s sys

gnuplot
[*] Usage for gnuplot    (14705):  20736 kB, 0.04s user, 0.00s sys
[*] Usage for gnuplot    (14704): 257840 kB, 9149.85s user, 73.26s sys
[*] Usage for gnuplot_x11 (14706):  76048 kB, 12.95s user, 11.64s sys
[*] Usage for octave-3.0.1 (14700): 146088 kB, 14.60s user, 6.57s sys

Memory was measured as VMPeak, it should be VMWHM - for jhandles it gives
a big differece  VMWHM=150MB, for gnuplot it isn't important.
