lxtask says a process uses 16777216 TB of "RSS" (memory) instead of 3,3 GB (aprox.)

[Gus]

This is a display bug: I was running a game , and it was using 1,3 GB of RSS. I started lxtask and it displayed correctly the game was using 1,3 GB. However, then I loaded a more complex level in my game and I think it was consuming about 3,2 GB (because I was watching it as it was growing) of RSS. But lxtask "glitched" and showed the game was using 16777216 TB (tera bytes) of RSS. It was the only number "wrong".

Additional info:

my processor is intel i7 (x86_64) and I'm using lubuntu in 32bit. I was running a steam game, with the optirun -b primus %command% parameter.

lsb_release -rd prints:

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same here with HandBrake encoding a 10GB video recording. According to 'top', VSZ is 3236748 (about 3.2G), RSS is 422748, lxtask shows "Memory" as 16777216 TB, RSS as 426,3M (which is correct).

I believe this is now fixed in latest versions of lxtask released by upstream. Thank you very much.
