I'm not sure I understand you here -- there's no initial size in the ps
output, only virtual size and resident set size?  I don't get the
"sometimes positive and sometimes" negative either -- there were three
runs of Emacsen started (with and without the patch), and both
numbers varied in all instances.

The mean RSS sizes were 61436 and 61465, which is not a noticeable
difference.  But I may be misunderstanding what you mean here either.
