->unless i'm mis-interpreting this show_mem() output, it looks like as if
->your 64M memory is divided this way:
->
-> file buffers (block and page cache): ~5.8 Megs
-> free kernel memory: ~0.7 Megs
->
->where is the remaining memory, it cannot be all kernel-allocated? I guess
->i'm missing something important.

for shake of completeness, the non-kernel memory use looks as follow :
total 61 processes and top-10 memory users are :

for me it looks like it does not account for over 80mb of memory.

also ther is a small change, in order to use the serial console and
serial-halt I had to kill pppd so if it had some leaks it could be
accounted differently.
