hi, i've got a problem with tcsh 6.05 under netbsd 1.0. has
anyone else seen this?
i killed two tcsh's both using significantly less than 1meg of
memory each (as reported by ps(1)), yet the total amount of
swap i got back was more than 6 meg (no, no other processes
were killed at the same time)

i had previously thought it was screen that was leaking, as i
used to get heaps of swap back when i restarted screen, but i
see now that this was not the case.
christos? any ideas?
