Hello:

I just upgraded a server from fedora-core-2 to red-hat-enterprise-5
and am experiencing a rather bizarre memory leak with one of my
processes. When the process is running, the total 'memory used' (as
seen by top) keeps on going up, BUT what's rather interesting is that
the memory related to this particular process is not changing (I've
looked at VIRT, RES, SHR, SWAP,CODE,DATA). I'm pretty sure the problem
is related to this particular process, because if/when I shut it down,
the 'total memory used' stays fairly constant. If I leave the process
running, eventually the system runs out of memory and needs to be
restarted.

I'm not sure, does top do anything about displaying shared memory?

Do an "ipcs -a".

Also type in uppercase M in top to get the high memory users at
the top of the display.
