The main advantage of the GMEM mode is that it is a lot faster than the
GDB mode where the application must be monitored by a GDB script.
But the GMEM mode is available only for DEC Unix, Linux x86,
Solaris (sparc and x86) and Windows 95/98/NT/2000 (x86).
The main advantage of the GDB mode is that it is available on all
supported platforms. But it can be very slow if the application does a
lot of allocations and deallocations.
