I think maybe you are misunderstanding how memory is apportioned and reported. I am not the best one to answer on this, but it has been a topic in questions a number of times, so some searching in the archives might be provide an answer. I wouldn't be surprised if there is even a FAQ on it. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
