Abstract
An apparatus and method of managing memory utilized by a process executing on a computer system with an operating system frees memory segments allocated to threads (in the process) if it is determined that such threads have stopped operating. To that end, messages forwarded between the process and operating system are intercepted. The location of a memory segment that is allocated to a given thread in the process then is ascertained from at least one of the intercepted messages. The given thread thus is monitored and its allocated memory segment is freed if it is determined that the given thread has stopped operating.
