Hello
I'd like to know ( if it's not a problem) what is the SIZE field
reported by top. Top under kernel 1.2.13 displays:
PID USER PRI NI SIZE RES SHRD STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND

czar 27 0 103 456 476 R 11.4 4.0 0:05 top

under 1.3.100:
PID USER PRI NI SIZE RES SHRD STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND

czar 17 0 888 464 296 R 22.3 6.6 0:01 top

Look at the SIZE field: for same process it is greater eight times on
1.3.100.
It is not only for top process, bash for example on 1.2.13 has 100+ k,
and on 1.3.100 it has 1100+ k.
