If with size you mean the mapping size as reported in /proc/PID/smaps,
then there's no need for a concern. It does not occupy that much memory.
If however, the 60MB is in the RSS or Private_* columns, then we might
have a problem.
Of course if the additional mappings can be prevented (in linuxdcpp),
then we should do it. Have you noticed what causes the additional
mappings? Something you do in Linuxdcpp or maybe updating OS? (I
remember one Maemo bug, that had something to do with icon caches and
was triggered by installing new applications).

Title:
duplicate memory sections of icon-theme.cache
Status in Linux DC++:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I like linuxDC++ very much. But it always suffered from memory leak problems
That's why I had to move from 1.0.3 to another DC client. After several days
it leaked to 2 gb and more.
Now I'm on linuxdc++ version 1.1.0
Some memory leaks were fixed indeed, but not all of them
When program run for a considerable amount of time it's memory usage
increases.
After one day of run I looked at the process memory map and saw 4 sections of
loaded
/usr/share/icons/gnome/icon-theme.cache
All of the had the same size - about 60 mb (exactly as big as original file
is)
except one
last one were ~14 mb in size
After restarting the program I have
one 60 mb section named 'icon-theme.cache' and one 14 mb section of the
same name
I'm not linux programmer, but can imagine why this happens
Probably icon-cache is loaded not by linuxdcpp itself but framework it invokes
May be multiple reinitializations are present in the code without freeing
previously allocated resources ?
