Yeah, but in that case, the sum of the SIZE numbers from ps is bigger
than the sum of used memory and used swap (not counting buffers). What
I got was the other way around - the sum of the SIZE numbers from ps was
80MB _smaller_ than the sum of used mem and swap as reported by free in
2.0.31pre9. Currently, under 2.0.29, the SIZEs add up to 97524, and the
amount of memory + swap used is only 49440, which is normal.
