vsize from within C++ (UNCLASSIFIED)

Thanks Mark!  I was working with /proc/self/stat and getting to the
vSize value using system() and an awk command, but was having trouble
getting the value back into a variable in my program...always getting 0
which was the value passed back from system() ... 0 = success.

I'll give this a try.  My Google searches didn't come up with anything
this good.

Steve
