Probably normal. VSZ includes the total size of all shared objects mapped into the process address space, whether it's actually used or not; it's much larger than the memory actively used (which is somewhat related to "RSS”).
Ahh yes of course. That makes sense.
We had to increase the Dovecot vsz_limit to 1 GB (!!!) because it would occasionally run out of 256 MB VSZ memory when doing FTS indexing at delivery time. A bunch of large Perl modules could conceivably do that, too.
This is just an address on a lonely internal box with a little attachment-ingesting bot-like thing that gets a message about once a week, so luckily not much needed in the concurrency department.
I'd set it to 1 GB instead of zero, though, and see if that works. You probably want *SOME* limit in case of real problems.
Noted. Good idea.
