...and you start seeing "small_process (pid xxx): killed" and "out of swap
space"...
But that was also my question - to have a way to check what portion of
memory is allocated to which structure... I'm afraid there is no generic
answer to this.
Also, "kernel" above doesn't equal `size kernel` - there are disk buffers,
mbufs, stacks, and whatnot which are allocated on start; so its much
bigger.

If you mean "stripping" - yes.
What I forgot to add (sorry...) is that I'm primarily interested in
situations where there is no swap. This usually means there is no disk
and there is a MFS taking its sweet portion of RAM...
