Hi All,

I´m looking for a memory problem on a system using the pmap command.

This is an output:
# pmap -d 4302

.....
mapped: 2391764K    writeable/private: 2217000K    shared: 158336K

I have a lot of used memory and the line that takes my attention is this:
51550000 1398144 rwx-- 0000000051550000 000:00000   [ anon ]

But now I don´t know how to handle it. What can I do with this info? how can
I know why there is so much memory there?

Thanks in advance
