I think it refers to the total number of pages that are shared in all address spaces. Ie if I load Bash twice then it's code pages will be counted twice. I guess this is counter intuitive, ie you might expect shared to be the number of pages that have been used more than once. But instead it is more of an indication of how much space you are saving from shared pages. Jason -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
