Hello,
I have dictd 1.5.5-4 running on my System (Dual-PII-400), and it seems
that though rarely used, it is the nastiest one concerning memory usage.
Is there any reason for that? Shouldn't it be swapped out if unused?!
Here's what top gives me after switching to "sort by memory usage" view:
11:20:54 up 10:48, 1 user, load average: 0.04, 0.01, 0.00
56 processes: 55 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states: 0.2% user, 0.5% system, 0.0% nice, 99.3% idle
Mem: 256044K total, 240992K used, 15052K free, 50940K buffers

Thanks for any hints!
Alex
