Hi, all.

I generally keep a copy of top (top-3.5beta5.tar.gz, with the NetBSD 1.3
patches) running, and I've been noticing lately that it seems to consume a
good bit more memory than it should.

Here's how it sees itself:

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE   SIZE   RES STATE   TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
 9122 mason     36    4  1120K  396K run    52:48  1.22%  1.22% top

If I stop the process and relaunch it, it says the following about itself:

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE   SIZE   RES STATE   TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
20743 mason     36    4   212K  592K run     0:02  6.87%  5.62% top

I'm just curious as to why it's consuming so much memory after a while.

Has anyone else seen this? Is this something I should report, or is this...
um... expected behaviour?

Later...
