77000 pages in anonymous memory, no swap online.

42000 pages in slab. Maybe this is a leak?

60000 pagetable pages. Seems rather a lot?

179000 pages accounted for above

present memory: 15364 + 992032 = 1007396kB. 250000 pages. It's a 1GB
box, yes?

afacit, 70000 pages are unaccounted for (leaked?)
