innfeed as a memory eating hog - crazy hog!

I'll bet you're using CNFS.  innfeed will have a bunch of sections
of your CNFS buffers mmap'd.  Those mmap'ed regions are in the 
process' address space which is why the size looks so huge (I see
the same thing with HP/UX).  But notice that your RES is a much more
reasonable size.  That's how much RAM is actually used by that
process.
