the samba smbd executable measures  1.15 M on my HPUX.
The  version is 2.0.0 (maybe I should get an update :-) )
the size command says 809K (text-segment) and 88K (data-segments added)
the top command reports all smbd  processes with more or less 1.7M
If we can regard the text-segment as shared there remains a rest of  ~900K
for each process ?
