Hi Lubos. Maybe you will remember that on 27/06 I wrote to this list becouse I 
noticed in konqueror the same behaviour. 

This is what I have with:
#pmap 6238

(where 6238 is a closed konqueror that I have used to browse the web with 
something like 30 tabs opened.

kdeinit: konqueror --preload(6238)

What makes me think that the problem is not related to the memory used by 
shared libraries, is the 3rd line: 
08052000 (46784 KB)    rwxp (00:00 0)       

Is this shared memory? 

A "fresh" konqueror seems, in fact, to show a different number:
0804a000 (3440 KB)     rwxp (00:00 0)

And the last line of the output is:
mapped:   32096 KB writable/private: 4996 KB shared: 1072 KB


I hope these numbers can be useful.

Cheers,
	Dario
