[geeks] Memory Fragmentation under AIX

[geeks at sunhelp.org]

AIX used to be able to suffer from memory leaks but that was around release
3.2.
I run several AIX boxes here at release 4.3.3 and have not had a problem.
The current AIX releases are 4.3.3 and 5.1L.

We've got an external support vendor claiming that AIX can suffer from
"Memory Fragmentation", and that the only way to fix a memory fragmentation
problem is to reboot the machine.

Anyone got enough of an AIX-clue to be able to confirm or deny this,
preferably with a reference I can take to the vendor?

(I'm not after general UNIX references - I really need something
specifically on AIX)

Thanks,
  Scott.
