[WBEL-users] what is mdmpd?

[Bevis Peters]

Not a specific WB question as such, but I had noticed that even with 
512Mb RAM, WB + X + gnome seems to claim 500Mb of it (I assume the 
kernel or something is claiming it for later use, I can't believe that 
with one X login running one xterm quite that much RAM is actually being 
actively used! - though I see that each xterm takes 3Mb!!!!).  Anyhow, 
one process listed is 'mdmpd' taking 12Mb, but I can't find any 
reference to what this actually is or what it's doing.  Can anyone tell me?

incidentally, we're running WB on a number of production machines here 
with no problems.
i'd also like to thank the various ppl who host WB yum servers around 
the place!
