You saw this output from memstat, correct?

I can get the same sort of wacky output, but if I remove xmms-jess then
I get:

  40360k: PID  1527 (/usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0.7.1)

With it installed I show jess in two places...

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ memstat | grep xmms
  40480k: PID  1642 (/usr/lib/xmms/Visualization/libjess.so)
...
     40k: /usr/lib/xmms/Visualization/libjess.so 1642

I would guess that this is a bug in memstat since the man page claims:

"First, the processes are listed.  An amount of memory  is  shown  along
with  a  process ID and the name of the executable which the process is
running."

libjess.so is not the name of the executable.  It should say
"/usr/bin/xmms" like ps does.
