Applied what patches?
Exactly how does one reproduce this problem? And what does the "pagesize" program have to do with it? Was the version whose output you show compiled on a 32-bit x86, and then run on an ia64? Are the programs with the ps/top memory-size inequity 32-bit executables? I'm completely confused... Hmm.. it's not perfect bug report... I think clone a bug is not enough, better is clone -> think & edit -> commit new report bug :-) Please, ignore the program "pagesize" -- don't forget it's "clone of bug #137927" where it was used during bug investigation only. The original bug was possible detect by: http://people.redhat.com/kzak/procps/proc-mem-test.py For details see bug #137927. Ok, can we confirm that this is an ia64-specific bug? I an running 2.4.21-32 (the latest proposed RHEL3-U5 kernel) on an ia64, and the proc-mem-test.py test returns: "The resident memory information test PASS" every time I run it. Also, running a VM-test program with a large RSS, I don't see any discrepancies between the output of top vs. ps, regardless of how long it runs. Can somebody please post a test program that shows the problem on 2.4.21-32? This bug is filed against RHEL 3, which is in maintenance phase.
