I have a nice ThinkPad 360CE (I think). I am a relative newbie to NetBSD 
and I am unsure of what is eating my memory. It seems like processes 
with PIDs 2 through 8 (presumably spawned by init?) are, together, 
gobbling 12MB of my 20MB of RAM (WTF???).

Here is the output of 'free' (yes, it is a script which emulates the Linux 
command of the same name):

             total       used       free    buffers
Mem:         13544      12532       1012          0
Swap:        66020          0      66020

And here is the output of 'ps auxw':

What in heck are these things, and why are they eating all of my RAM!? 
About all that I can guess at are pcic0,0,[01] (i.e. my PCMCIA drivers, 
no?) and pagedaemon (some sort of swapspace handler)? And reaper, I 
suppose, kills old tasks?

Why are these things eating so incredibly MUCH RAM?
