Originally I was goin to send this only to Sarang, then I finally
saw what Sarang did - see the discovery process below:

Previously you said:

  3:31pm  up 5 days,  2:09,  2 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
54 processes: 53 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU0 states:  0.0% user,  0.1% system,  0.0% nice, 99.4% idle
CPU1 states:  0.0% user,  0.0% system,  0.0% nice, 100.0% idle
Mem:   899952K av,  556948K used,  343004K free,       0K shrd,  170032K buff
Swap: 1791208K av,  118408K used, 1672800K free                  265936K cached


Now, I'm confused.  Where do you see 15mb or so of memory used?

Here, let me interpolate some commas:


  3:31pm  up 5 days,  2:09,  2 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
54 processes: 53 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU0 states:  0.0% user,  0.1% system,  0.0% nice, 99.4% idle
CPU1 states:  0.0% user,  0.0% system,  0.0% nice, 100.0% idle
Mem:   899,952K av,  556,948K used,  343,004K free,       0K shrd,  170,032K buff
Swap: 1,791,208K av,  118,408K used, 1,672,800K free                  265,936K cached

So I see 1/2 gig used.

Also, beware - top shows 2 numbers - total RAM in use currently, 
AND total actual size of the program.  Unfortunately top does
NOT appear to allow you to sort on that 2nd number...

Hmm.  So, I added up all the numbers under top, and got 31,088 kbytes.
Now you've got me wondering.  What does ps -axl say?
