    Assuming the allocated field is not inclusive of real
    memory, what we have is swap reservation under solaris
    for clean pages, and allocation and assignment for dirty
    pages.  The grand total will tell you the total VM potential
    for malloc'd space but does not appear to tell you how 
    much swap is actually active - i.e. was written to and 
    contains valid data.

    It would be interesting to see if the stack segment is
    included in the reservation.  Try setting the stack resource
    limit to 32m and run the same program, except without
    bothering to malloc() or touch anything.  See if the
    stack segment is included in the reservation field.

    It would also be interesting to see how solaris deals
    with MAP_PRIVATE mmap's.

    If this is correct, then solaris is using a VMSPACE = SWAPSPACE
    model.  FreeBSD uses a VMSPACE = SWAPSPACE + REALMEM model.
