	thanks for the invitation, I'll bother you, since you ask nicely
;-)
	I am planning to play some more on weekend - tonight is already
spoken for, so's most of tomorrow (wifes are people too, you know). I will
give you a half a screen from to to ponder - it shows that either top is
broke or that memory allocation / deallocation procedures are not healthy.
this is top from the production system that has *nobody* actively working,
9 users forgot to log out. take a look at this scary values:
