SA ps_core mixing p_filesz and p_memsz in multiple places

[O'Hair Kelly]

Ghosts from the past. ;^)

This may help: http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/latest/ch5.pheader.html

p_memsz will always be equal to or greater than p_filesz, the extra space is usually null bytes and I think would represent uninitialized static memory,
but with a core file means that part of memory is not available or something like that.
These fields can not be assumed to be the same all the time.

Good Luck.   . .....  . . . I will now fade back into my ghostly realm ...   ;^)
