Seems excessive to me too. Here is a dump of the process info for an 
instance of omniNames (actually, one of three threads) just after it is 
started up on my Linux box. Looks like 6MB virtual memory total?

Is "debian 2.3.20" a 2.3.20 Linux kernel? If so, maybe using a 
development kernel is the problem??
