Small perl program:

$a="AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA\n";
$b=$a x 1000000;
print "Length = ".length($b)."\n";
system("top -b -n 1 |grep \" *$$ \"");
$b=$a x 1000000;
system("top -b -n 1 |grep \" *$$ \"");
undef $b;
system("top -b -n 1 |grep \" *$$ \"");

With strange result:

Length = 72000000
