Hi,

I'm running 1.5.2 on a Sparcstation 5 and am somewhat amused at the
RSS (resident set size) memory consumption sizes that ps, top etc.
report.  In fact, they seem to be very low.  I'm not running a
desynched kernel<->userland combo, it was the same on the 1.5.2
generic kernel right after installation, aswell as on those that
I built since.  Just have a look at that:

USER  PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED   TIME COMMAND
mkb  6920 28.3  0.1 372 168 p1 T     3:42AM 0:01.14 /usr/pkg/lib/sml-nj/bin/.run
mkb  6925  0.0  0.1 448  80 p1 R+    3:42AM 0:00.01 ps ux 
mkb  3871  0.0  0.0 388  40 p2 S+    3:01AM 0:00.12 screen (screen-3.9.10)
[...]

The entry containing "sml" above is Standard ML of New Jersey; the
interactive top level system of a relatively memory-hungry functional
programming language, right after start, on i386 it reports more than
8 megs RSS in use:

mkb  1164  0.0  3.4   336  8864 p3 T     3:40AM 0:00.09 /usr/pkg/lib/sml-nj/bin

All other values seem to be far too low aswell.
I have 86MB core free on the sparc still and no swap is in use.
Is this a known quirk, or do I have to send-pr?
