Glen- I have gone mad in the past trying to make individual mem segments equal total memory. Evidently different diagnostics compute on a different basis. For one thing kernel mem seems to be reserved off the top, and for another, there are certain memory blocks 'reserved' on boot - I don't know why or whether they are released later. Unless you want to spend some time getting to the bottom of this - in which case I would be eager to hear what you discover - I would recommend you drop that question and concentrate on your original question: which program is using the memory? What results have you had from top? > Below is a ps -ef output for anyone interested.
