2.2.10: weird RSS reported in /proc/*/status

I noticed this in the output of ps aux:

USER PID %CPU %MEM SIZE RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
root 244 56.2 55762.4 4768 -13964 1 R Jun 19 6312:55 dos -ckC

The TIME field looks right, but the RSS/%MEM fields don't. ;-)

I haven't looked into this yet. I just thought I'd ask if this is a known
problem with 2.2.10.
