When I type `size 3dldf' on the Linux system I'm using, the following is
printed to `stdout':
text data bss dec hex filename
3693037 1376 6708 3701121 387981 3dldf
If I'd ever looked at this closely before, I would have noticed how small
the `bss' section is. I once read what `bss' stands for, but I don't
remember what. I think Stevens explains it in _Advanced Programming in
the UNIX Environment_. In the "good old days", it contained
"uninitialized" data, i.e., data initialized to 0, as someone pointed
out recently, the stack and the heap, one of which grew upward, the other
downward.
