That brings back some fun memories. :) I once had a SysAdmin complain that Oracle was using 100% of the memory on a Sun box, which was equipped with 64 GB of physical memory and configured for 8 GB of swap space. The "prstat -a" output, which he helpfully included in his email, clearly showed Oracle consuming 1.5 TB of memory.
Needless to say, that command has absolutely no knowledge of shared memory.
