>Description:

	Top seems to display bogus information about the process size.  
	It shows that there is more of the process resident than its total
	size.  Which seems very non-intuitive.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Run top, look at the process sizes.
	
>Fix:
	No idea.  It might be the kernel reporting information incorrectly,
	or it might be top failing to interpret the results correctly.
