BackupPC_dump uses considerably more than 70k; my server at the house is
weighing in at 51m/39m for the parent/child dump processes;
BackupPC_trashClean is using roughly an additional 10m. Of course some
of that will be shared between processes. The nightly maintenance runs
are likely to require similar amounts. pmap the processes while running
to get a better idea of utilization.
