Do I sense a memleak here? My system has been up for maybe 8
hours. I've done email in PINE, and browsed slashdot and a few
other sites in netscape with KDE running. Normally my swap
doesn't get touched barely at all.

Here is a sorted list (by memory usage) of the most memory
hogging processes. Normally there is never this much memory
being used by PINE to my knowledge, although netscape looks
average.
