Plus, that's 263MB of SIZE/VSZ, not RES/RSS. A portion of it could also
be utilised by ELF shared object stuff (dynamic linking):
$ ldd /usr/sbin/rpc.statd
/usr/sbin/rpc.statd:
librpcsvc.so.5 => /usr/lib/librpcsvc.so.5 (0x60648000)
libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x60750000)
Bottom line: don't worry "too" much about VSZ when it comes to
memory usage. Bloated RSS is reason to worry.
