Dear all,

Thanks for the nice procps package.

However, are all values always shown as megabytes ?

When top or procps are used, the size on top, vsz on
procps report  extremely large, like this :

 08:43:41 up 6 days, 19:52,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
29 processes: 28 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states:   2.3% user,   5.0% system,   0.0% nice,  92.6% idle
Mem:    522476K total,   324552K used,   197924K free,        0K buffers
Swap:  1277020K total,   300224K used,   976796K free,        0K cached

It seems that the RSS values are OK, they are from the same
order as on Linux, however the SIZE value is extremely large.

Has anybody an explanation ?
