That is probably operating system dependent, and it also depends on
whether the library is compiled with the -pg flag or not (I forgot
that flag in my previous email, but it is only needed for gprof not
for OS X's Shark). Shark does fine, and goes deep into the function
call tree, but precisely because it stores a lot of information it can
only be used for short periods of time.
