Scavenging the mail folder uncovered Aitor Grajal Crespo's letter:

this is completely wrong. threads under linux have a different pid
but are created setting the CLONE flag so they share almost anything
(address space, shared objects, etc.)

this is what top tell you, but try using memstat to show the real
memory consumed by each process...
