 > When a process allocates over 2TB, top can corrupt the SIZE field and display a series of characters instead.  It only appears to happen on TB boundaries - i.e 2048GB, 3072GB etc.  7.1-RC1 and 8-CURRENT (from 2008-12-15) both show the problem.

 Although I'd love to say it's top, it sounds more like a weird corner
 case dealing with overflow / underflow and vmem allocation.
