Hmmm.

Are memory prerences inherited? Meaning: maybe the program which launched
these processes was not set to "Load to TT-RAM", and for some reason MiNT
extends that to it's children...?

BTW: an easier way for checking this is to use "ps -elv" (use my ps.ttp from
the MiNT tools collection on http://www.muenster.de/~reschke/soft_e.html).
