Package: memstat Version: 0.5 Severity: normal Hello,
In man memstat, one can read `If you do the math, you'll see that ps and memstat don't always agree about how much virtual memory a process is using. This is because most processes seem to map certain shared pages twice. memstat counts these pages once, ps counts them twice. I'm not sure which is the ``right'' way to measure it.' Yes, the page that covers the limit between e.g. text and data is mapped twice, but since memstat reports the _virtual_ memory used by an application, that page should be reported twice, since it is effectively virtually mapped twice.
