Subject2.2.9: strange memory behavior
Hi all, 

I do not know if I am having alucinations, but it's possible
that in some subtle way kernel vm affects memory footprint of
applications? I am running gnome (same version) till 2.2.5,
and never saw this:

(0)pern:~/worktmp/asimov% free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 63188 61584 1604 27328 1308 15744
-/+ buffers/cache: 44532 18656

(0)pern:~/worktmp/asimov% ps auxmt
PID TTY MAJFLT MINFLT TRS DRS SIZE SWAP RSS SHRD LIB DT COMMAND

System is responsive and ok, but I am quite preoccupied for when the
swap will be filled... I am thinking to a change in the kernel that
triggers very bad some leakage in gnome-libs. I am quite positive
that it is the first time my system is using more than a few MBytes
of swap.
