Hi Ben,

I'm curious as to why memory statistics seems to be very difficult to be
accurate about. If you use kstats, mdb ::memstat, and add up VSZ/RSS
from ps, you get numbers that are different, although close.
Can anyone shed some light on why this is? I'm assumed that ::memstat
is the most accurate measure and I'm comparing my numbers against it,
but perhaps it is not the best validation?
Have you tried getting the numbers on a crash dump? If you are
doing this on a running system, I would expect the numbers to
fluctuate.
