[ale] diagnosis

How can we find the process that is soaking the memory?  How do you manipulate 
/proc to find out the originating process that owns the memory being used?  I 
know IRIX had tools to look at memory and see which processes owned what part 
of memory.  Does Linux?

Seems if you knew what was leaking you would have a major part of the battle won.
