Just look at the "VIRT" column.
You can also use the command "pmap PID" available under Linux or Solaris.
The latter serves a more detailed view of allocated chunks in virutal

Just enable core dumping.

Note to Fedora users: write into the appropriate sysconfig file

DAEMON_COREFILE_LIMIT=unlimited

gdb -d milter-greylist-source-dir Binary Corefile
