Memory usage for process

[Andrea Pagani]

Hello,

I'm running monit version 4.4 on a RedHat Linux AS 3.0 (kernel
2.4.21-15.ELsmp) on top of a HP-ProLiant DL380 and I've noticed
that at runtime many of monit services of type process are
showing "Memory" values which have non-sense, like shown below:

What's the matter with them? Is there something wrong with my
configuration or is it a wrong memory usage computation?

Best regards.
