If they are all "unknown__...", then something is wrong. The profiler
builds a table of addresses to procedure names; if it can't find an
entry for a given address in that table it outputs it as "unknown__...".
When you run a program with profiling enabled, that table should be
written to the file Prof.Decl. When you run your program, does the file
Prof.Decl contain any entries?
