procps and top output

Tue Mar 25 14:09:00 GMT 2003

Dear all,
Thanks for the nice procps package.
However, are all values always shown as megabytes ?
When top or procps are used, the size on top, vsz on
procps report extremely large, like this :
 08:43:41 up 6 days, 19:52, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
29 processes: 28 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped

It seems that the RSS values are OK, they are from the same
order as on Linux, however the SIZE value is extremely large.
Has anybody an explanation ?
