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.
